Detailed Description

Listener interface for receiving file system change notifications.

Listener provides two callback methods for responding to file system events:

folderChanged(): Called once when any file in a folder changes
fileChanged(): Called for each specific file change with event type

Override the methods you need and add the listener to FileSystemWatcher to receive notifications on the message thread.

Usage Example:

class MyListener : public FileSystemWatcher::Listener
{
    void folderChanged(const File& folder) override
    {
        // Refresh UI for any changes in this folder
        DBG("Folder changed: " + folder.getFullPathName());
    }
 
    void fileChanged(const File& file, FileSystemEvent event) override
    {
        // Handle specific file changes
        if (event == fileUpdated)
            reloadFile(file);
        else if (event == fileDeleted)
            removeFromCache(file);
    }
};

Member Function Documentation

◆ folderChanged()

virtual void FileSystemWatcher::Listener::folderChanged ( const juce::File & )

virtual

Called when any file in a watched folder changes.

This is called once per folder when any change occurs, useful for refreshing file browsers or folder displays without needing to know which specific files changed.

Parameters

folder The watched folder that contains changed files

◆ fileChanged()

virtual void FileSystemWatcher::Listener::fileChanged	(	const juce::File &	,
		FileSystemEvent	)

virtual

Called for each file that changed and how it changed.

This provides detailed information about each file change, including the specific event type. Use this when you need to react to specific changes like file updates for auto-reloading.
