Monitor a file/directory, and trigger whatever action you wish. HTTP notification, file backup or anything that cross your mind. With Go plugins you can implement your own magic !

Built easily thanks to fsnotify 😎.

• Download

❯ go get github.com/TommyStarK/claptrap

• Demo

First, let's build the shared object based on the example plugin. This is a dummy plugin acting as a simple log function that prints on the standard output:

- the type of event which can be either CREATE|UPDATE|RENAME|REMOVE
- the target file attached to the event
- the timestamp of when the event has been detected

❯ cd example/
❯ go build -buildmode=plugin -o demo
❯ cd ../

Our plugin is ready, we can now build claptrap and run it:

# build claptrap
❯ go build -mod=vendor -o claptrap

# see help
❯ ./claptrap --help

# for demo purposes we run claptrap in its own directory
❯ ./claptrap -path=. -plugin=example/demo

It's ready !! To test it you can edit the README and remove this line 😎.

Take a look at the example directory to learn how to write your first plugin.
