In cases when you need to scan dir to find new files or files modifications,
you probably will create some script and implements pulling mechanism.
That is good for small systems with less files but not efficient enough for big one.
And that why we got inotify mechanism that generate event on file|dir changes
like create, delete, change and many more that we can listen to.
More info in php manual. here
composer require krowinski/php-inotifyTo listen on event we need php extension called inotify. In most cases you just need to install using pecl (example in dockerfile)
You can find example in example.php and events that you can listen to InotifyEventCodeEnum.php Event implement Arrayable, JsonSerializable and __toString.
