Struct IndexWatcher 

pub struct IndexWatcher { /* private fields */ }

A running file-system watcher that triggers incremental re-indexing on file saves.

Created by IndexWatcher::start. Dropping the IndexWatcher aborts the background Tokio task and the underlying notify watcher, stopping all file-system monitoring.

Examples

use std::sync::Arc;
use std::path::Path;
use zeph_index::watcher::IndexWatcher;

// Start watching — the returned handle keeps the watcher alive.
let _watcher = IndexWatcher::start(Path::new("."), indexer, None)?;

Implementations

impl IndexWatcher

pub fn start( root: &Path, indexer: Arc<CodeIndexer>, status_tx: Option<UnboundedSender<String>>, ) -> Result<Self>

Start the file-system watcher.

When status_tx is Some, a short status message is sent to it whenever a file reindex begins, and an empty string is sent when it completes (clearing the TUI status bar). Pass None in non-TUI modes where no status indicator is needed.

Errors

Returns an error if the filesystem watcher cannot be initialized.
