Struct ConfigReloader 

pub struct ConfigReloader { /* private fields */ }

Serves the freshest spawn-time Config, reloading config.toml when it changes on disk.

Implementations

impl ConfigReloader

pub fn new(path: PathBuf, initial: Config) -> Self

Wrap the boot-loaded initial config, watching path (normally Config::config_path). The file’s current mtime is recorded so the first current call does not reload a config that has not changed.

pub fn fixed(config: Config) -> Self

A reloader that never watches a file: current always returns config. For contexts that hold a config snapshot but do not hot-reload (tests, and any caller that wants a fixed config).

pub fn current(&self) -> Arc<Config>

The current spawn-time config: the cached copy when config.toml is unchanged, or a freshly loaded one when its mtime moved.

A reload that fails to parse (an edit saved half-written, a syntax error) does not fail the caller - it logs a warning and returns the last good config, so a broken file degrades to “your last saved config” rather than a broken spawn. The stale mtime is retained, so the next successful save is picked up.
