//! The `Filterer` trait for event filtering.

/// An interface for filtering events.
pub trait Filterer: std::fmt::Debug + Send + Sync {
	/// Called while reconciling filesystem event sources to decide whether a directory should be
	/// watched.
	///
	/// This is source filtering, which is separate from [`Filterer::check_event`]. Returning `false`
	/// excludes the directory as an event source, including its descendants; `check_event` still
	/// filters events which are observed from accepted sources. Implementations should therefore
	/// reject a directory only when every event beneath it can safely be ignored.
	///
	/// An exact configured watch root is never passed to this method. The root remains an event
	/// source even if this method would reject it, while its descendants are checked normally.
	/// Watchexec only calls this method on filesystem backends for which it manages recursion; see
	/// [`crate::sources::fs`] for the backend-specific behaviour.
	///
	/// Like event filtering, source-directory filtering is synchronous, should be fast, and must not
	/// block the thread.
	///
	/// The default implementation accepts every directory.
	fn check_dir(&self, _path: &Path) -> Result<bool, RuntimeError> {
		Ok(true)
	}

	/// Called on (almost) every event, and should return `false` if the event is to be discarded.
	///
	/// Checking whether an event passes a filter is synchronous, should be fast, and must not block
	/// the thread. Do any expensive stuff upfront during construction of your filterer, or in a
	/// separate thread/task, as needed.
	///
	/// Returning an error will also fail the event processing, but the error will be propagated to
	/// the watchexec error handler. While the type signature supports any [`RuntimeError`], it's
	/// preferred that you create your own error type and return it wrapped in the
	/// [`RuntimeError::Filterer`] variant with the name of your filterer as `kind`.
