watchexec VS watchman

Hi, I am using Watchexec (https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec/releases) to monitor folder changes, but I want to exclude some folders. What parameter should I use to perform the route exclusions?

Use https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec

There's something similar to this called watchexec, which you can have a look at https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec

Or use watchexec which will do 95% of what you need and you're not tied to nodejs.

watchexec

I use watchexec to automatically run the code when saved, you should customise this to your liking.

OTOH PowerShell will not keep watching and is one of the requirements. In the past I've successfully used watchexecrepo and inotifywaitrepo.

I prefer watchexec as it's cross-platform.

Not specifically for frontend but a handy tool for quickly setting up auto-runners, auto-testers, auto-linters, auto-formattere etc etc. watchexec

postCreateCommand This section permit to execute a command after the build of the container. I've used this command to execute a script to install Expo and other dependencies like watchman

Facebook open source product: https://github.com/facebook/watchman to get notified when configuration, file or other change

Facebook Meta's Watchman Service looks very useful for watching for changes in files and directories to kick off automation. Still, there seem to be a bunch of gotchas with it that only come to light after trying to mess with it. The docs seem lacking, the Python library needs to be updated, and even the installation on non-Ubuntu or Red Hat distros requires a rebuild, which has been somewhat problematic given the build tools. Also, no official Docker container.

Not to be confused with Facebook’s file watch daemon, which does the same sort of thing but is more complicated. There’s a bunch of tools that integrate Facebook’s watchman for more efficient change tracking.
