[![Latest Stable Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/2714ac2602ecef6a458f0326c77b942b9498b60b4371f883881e6e913c0d88b7/68747470733a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f6a6465636f6f6c2f776174636865722f762f737461626c652e706e67)](https://packagist.org/packages/jdecool/watcher)

Work in Progress
----------------

[](#work-in-progress)

Please note that this project is currently under active development. We encourage everyone to try it and give feedback, but we don't recommend it for production use yet.

Intro
-----

[](#intro)

This tool watches a resource (filesystem, API resources, ...) and notify a listener of any changes.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install it by running [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
$ composer require jdecool/watcher
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First you need configure the tool by creating a `watcher.yaml` file:

```
watcher: Vendor\Package\MyWatcher
storage: JDecool\Watcher\Storage\JsonStorage
listeners:
    - Vendor\Package\Lister1
    - Vendor\Package\Lister2
```

The `watch` class is an instance of `JDecool\Watcher\Watcher` and it is an implementation of a watcher. It will watch content to detect some change.

The class need to contain a method `public function getObjects(): array` to returns objects.

Information about data can be stored with different strategies and you need to define how you want to store those data with the `storage` key.

Finally, you need to register `listeners` that can be triggered. A listener class is an `Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface` implementation.

Then you can run your watcher with `vendor/bin/watcher`.
