What problem does it solve?

BoxLang filesystem watchers provide a structured way to react to file create/modify/delete events with deterministic lifecycle controls across applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Watcher lifecycle support with watcherNew/watcherStart/watcherStop and WatcherInstance APIs
  • Recursive directory monitoring, debounce, throttle, and atomicWrites tuning
  • Flexible listener patterns (closure, struct, class, class-name string) for event handling

Quick Start

Create a watcher using watcherNew with a name and paths, attach a listener, then call start() to begin monitoring.
