ACTIVE: Continuous Compilation

Active is a sync replacement that uses native file-system OS async listeners to compile and reload Erlang files, DTL templates and other files. It acts as FS subscriber under supervision and uses mad, IEx.Helpers.c or you can add your own compiler, like rebar3 or make.

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, "https://github.com/synrc/active.git", {tag,"1.9"}}}

NOTE: on Linux please install inotify-tools.
