amalgame-io-filewatcher

Overview

Tree watching for dev tools (hot-reload, livereload, watch tests). No inotify/FSEvents — plain mtime polling, but ultra-portable. Powers Mosaic's dev mode.

Features

• ✓Recursive or shallow watching
• ✓Glob filters (**/*.am, !node_modules/**)
• ✓Unified OnChange(path, kind) callback (add / modify / delete)
• ✓Configurable polling (default 250 ms)
• ✓Cross-OS — no exotic system dep

Example

Minimal usage example — copy-paste runnable after install.

amc package add io-filewatcher

let fw = FileWatcher.New("./src", recursive: true)
fw.OnChange(fn(path, kind) {
    Console.WriteLine(kind + " " + path)
    rebuild()
})
fw.Start()
