The ScoFilewatcher should watch a directory including all sub directories (configurable) and report file changes to the sco server for further processing...
Checkout the server first https://github.com/triforkse/sco
Initialize the server env (mix deps.get, mix ecto.migrate, ...)
Run the server with iex -S mix phoenix.server
Run the FileWatcher with mix run and modify some files in the same directory as the sco_filewatcher project. When a file change was detected it sends some json (event) to the server.
Use git.diff <modified_file> to detected what has changed and send a kind of normalized data to the server as an event payload...
If available in Hex, the package can be installed as:
-
Add sco_filewatcher to your list of dependencies in
mix.exs:def deps do [{:sco_filewatcher, "~> 0.0.1"}] end
-
Ensure sco_filewatcher is started before your application:
def application do [applications: [:sco_filewatcher]] end
