this service not yet completed and is still in its early stages. Please don't consider it as a production release.
A service to watch json file changes and view it on stdout using less.
As I'm a developer, many times I log objects on terminal for inspection during development. I found that it takes approx. 30 seconds to copy dumped json from terminal to IDE, format it, and then insepct it. I decided to develop a service that I can run on my second screen and see the dumped json updated while I'm working, therefor saving my time.
- build the service
GOOS=linux go build -o jsonwatcher ./...
run the service and provide a file to watch
./jsonwatcher -f myfile.jsonto exit press q, this will close less and take you to the file changes log. Press q again to terminate the program.
