WatchBird monitors directories and files, runs tasks automatically.

This library is strongly inspired by guard and crake. Thanks ;)

notice:
WatchBird is under development and has few features yet.

WatchBird is just a library (inspired by crake). You can use this library in your application. it also provides DSL module. You can use this library with DSL syntax like guard.

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  watchbird:
    github: agatan/watchbird

See this code:

require "watchbird/dsl"

watch "./**/*.cr" do |ev|
  # ev.status is WatchBird::EventType.
  # can be Modify, Create and Delete.
  puts ev.status
  # ev.name is changed target's fullpath. It is an absolute path.
  puts ev.name
  # ev.dir? returns true when changed target is a directory
  puts ev.dir?
end

and execute watchbird.cr like crystal watchbird.cr.

This repository contains sample watchbird.cr file to run spec automatically.
