Utility to monitor file system changes

Rubberneck

A simple binding for ReactPHP event loops to watch files., _(*1)

Currently only file poling and inotifywait in implemented, but is designed with stubs for other methods., _(*2)

If possible, install inotifywait on your system, in Debian it's in the inotify-tools package. It is much more efficient than the file poll method., _(*3)

Usage

$loop = \React\EventLoop\Factory::create();
$observer = new \Calcinai\Rubberneck\Observer($loop);

$observer->onModify(function($file_name){
    echo "Modified: $file_name\n";
});

$observer->onCreate(function($file_name){
    echo "Created: $file_name\n";
});

$observer->onDelete(function($file_name){
    echo "Deleted: $file_name\n";
});


$observer->watch('~/Desktop/*.txt');

$loop->run();
