ExSync

Yet another Elixir reloader.

System Support

ExSync deps on FileSystem

Usage

  1. Create a new application:
mix new my_app
  1. Add exsync to your mix.exs dependencies:
def deps do
  [
    {:exsync, "~> 0.2", only: :dev},
  ]
end

Optionally add this snippet to your .iex.exs (in the root of your project) or your ~/.iex.exs:

if Code.ensure_loaded?(ExSync) && function_exported?(ExSync, :register_group_leader, 0) do
  ExSync.register_group_leader()
end

This will prevent the ExSync logs from overwriting your IEx prompt. Alternatively you can always just run ExSync.register_group_leader() in your IEx prompt.

Usage for umbrella project

  1. Create an umbrella project
mix new my_umbrella_app --umbrella
  1. Add exsync to your mix.exs dependencies:
def deps do
  [
    {:exsync, "~> 0.2", only: :dev},
  ]
end
  1. start your umbrella project with exsync task
iex -S mix exsync

Config

All configuration for this library is handled via the application environment.

:addition_dirs - Additional directories to monitor

For example, to monitor the priv directory, add this to your config.exs:

config :exsync, addition_dirs: ["/priv"]

:extensions - List of file extensions to watch for changes. Defaults to: [".erl", ".hrl", ".ex", ".eex"]

:extra_extensions - List of additional extensions to watch for changes (cannot be used with :extensions)

For example, to watch .js and .css files add this to your config.exs:

config :exsync, extra_extensions: [".js", ".css"]

:logging_enabled - Set to false to disable logging (default true)

:reload_callback - A callback MFA that is called when a set of files are done reloading. Can be used to implement your own special handling to react to file reloads.

:reload_timeout - Amount of time to wait in milliseconds before triggering the :reload_callback. Defaults to 150ms.

For example, to call MyApp.MyModule.handle_reload() add this to your config.exs:

config :exsync,
  reload_timeout: 75,
  reload_callback: {MyApp.MyModule, :handle_reload, []}
