Struct Walker 

pub struct Walker { /* private fields */ }

Parallel, gitignore-aware file walker.

Example

use mati_core::analysis::Walker;

let walker = Walker::new("/path/to/repo");

// Streaming — parser can consume while walk is still in progress.
for file in walker.walk_channel().unwrap() {
    println!("{} ({:?})", file.rel_path, file.language);
}

// Batch — sorted Vec, useful when you need the full set before proceeding.
let files = walker.walk().unwrap();

Implementations

impl Walker

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

Create a walker rooted at root with default settings.

pub fn max_file_size(self, bytes: u64) -> Self

Override the maximum file size. Files larger than bytes are skipped.

pub fn follow_symlinks(self, yes: bool) -> Self

Whether to follow symbolic links. Default: false (avoids cycles).

pub fn walk_channel(&self) -> Result<Receiver<WalkedFile>>

Primary interface: start the walk and return a channel receiver.

The walk runs on a background thread; the caller can begin consuming WalkedFile items immediately while traversal is still in progress. The channel closes automatically when the walk finishes.

Returns Err if root is not an accessible directory.

pub fn walk(&self) -> Result<Vec<WalkedFile>>

Batch interface: collect the full walk into a sorted Vec.

Useful for callers that need the complete file list before proceeding (tests, dep parsing, one-shot reporting). Prefer walk_channel when results will be piped into a parallel processing stage.
