Struct FileWatcher 

pub struct FileWatcher { /* private fields */ }

Monitors a working directory for file changes using OS-native filesystem notifications via the notify crate.

The watcher runs as an async task and sends FileChange events through a channel. It automatically stops after a configurable inactivity timeout.

Implementations

impl FileWatcher

pub fn new(root: impl Into<PathBuf>, config: FileWatcherConfig) -> Self

Create a new file watcher for the given directory.

pub fn with_defaults(root: impl Into<PathBuf>) -> Self

Create a watcher with default configuration.

pub fn start(&self) -> UnboundedReceiver<FileChange>

Start watching and return a receiver for file changes.

The watcher runs in a background tokio task. It will stop when:

• The inactivity timeout is reached (no changes detected)
• [stop] is called
• The FileWatcher is dropped

pub fn stop(&self)

Stop the watcher.
