ACTIVE

Active is sync replacement that uses native FileSystem OS async listeners to compile and reload Erlang files, DTL templates and other files. It acts as FS subscriber under supervision and uses MAD under the hood.

Listen Folders

One-level

app(App,["ebin",Module|_]) -> load_ebin(App,Module);
app(App,["priv"|_]) -> compile(App);
app(App,["src"|_]) -> compile(App);
app(_,_)-> ok.

Two-level

otp(["deps",App|Rest]) -> app(App,Rest);
otp(["apps",App|Rest]) -> app(App,Rest);
otp([Some|Path]) -> app(top(),[Some|Path]);
otp(_) -> ok.

Usage

On Mac/Linux/Windows just include into your rebar.config:

{active, ".*", {git, "git://github.com/synrc/active", {tag,"0.5"}}}

NOTE: on Linux please install inotify-tools.
