Restart when template files were edited #44

Open runemadsen opened 9 years ago

runemadsen commented 9 years ago

Right now gin only listens to .go files, which requires me to restart the server to see changes to .html files. It might be useful to be able to specify extra file extension to watch.

My (albeit barbaric) solution was fork the repo and check if the extension is .go or .html, and I use that binary instead.

@bcspragu: very useful addition. make a pull request?

bcspragu commented 9 years ago

In it's current state, it's too specific. I'll turn it into a command line flag that takes a list of extensions to allow, and I'll make a pull request of that.

A better approach would allow some cli arguments. @codeskyblue does a really good job with a JSON config file: https://github.com/codeskyblue/fswatch/blob/master/fswatch.go#L231

thanks @drewwells for using fswatch. Use a config file like json is very useful when monitor is complex, I have been using this way for a long time.
