Watched Settings Description

[PrestonGiorgianni]

Based on the description of this setting, I was expecting the package to watch for changes.

When I was writing code, it seems I have to call refresh on a regular basis to check for any changes.

Is this the expected behavior?

yes, it's the expected behavior. You can decide when to call refresh() on your own. Taking a web app for example, it's recommended to be event-driven, calling refresh() when a request comes in, which would save quota. Of course you can also simply polling changes by calling refresh() with a fixed interval... It's totally up to you.

Maybe change the description as below, does it look clearer?

Any modification to watched settings will refresh all setting loaded by the configuration provider when refresh() is called.

That would make it very clear what this setting does. I love the idea

@PrestonGiorgianni We recently updated the docs for dynamic configuration, hope it helps as well.
