Lib.rs

This crate provides a client to the watchman file watching service.

Start with the Connector struct and use it to connect and return a Client struct, Client::resolve_root to resolve a path and initiate a watch, and then Client::query to perform a query, or Client::subscribe to subscribe to file changes in real time.

This example shows how to connect and expand a glob from the current working directory:

use watchman_client::prelude::*;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let mut client = Connector::new().connect().await?;
    let resolved = client
        .resolve_root(CanonicalPath::canonicalize(".")?)
        .await?;

    // Basic globs -> names
    let files = client.glob(&resolved, &["**/*.rs"]).await?;
    println!("files: {:#?}", files);
    Ok(())
}
