Watch sandbox directory for changes

import { Sandbox, FilesystemEventType } from 'novita-sandbox/code-interpreter' const sandbox = await Sandbox.create() const dirname = '/tmp' // Start watching directory for changes const handle = await sandbox.files.watchDir(dirname, async (event) => { console.log(`got event: ${event.type} - ${event.name}`) if (event.type === FilesystemEventType.WRITE) { console.log(`wrote to file ${event.name}`) } }) // Trigger file write event await sandbox.files.write(`${dirname}/test-file`, 'test-file-content') // Stop watching directory for changes handle.stop() await sandbox.kill()

Recursive Watching

You can set the recursive parameter to enable recursive watching.

When rapidly creating new folders (e.g., deeply nested path of folders), events other than CREATE might not be emitted. To avoid this behavior, create the required folder structure in advance.

import { Sandbox, FilesystemEventType } from 'novita-sandbox/code-interpreter'

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
const dirname = '/tmp'

// Start watching directory for changes
const handle = await sandbox.files.watchDir(dirname, async (event) => {
  console.log(`got event: ${event.type} - ${event.name}`)
  if (event.type === FilesystemEventType.WRITE) {
    console.log(`wrote to file ${event.name}`)
  }
}, {
  recursive: true
})

// Trigger file write event
await sandbox.files.write(`${dirname}/test-folder/test-file`, 'test-file-content')

// Stop watching directory for changes
handle.stop()

await sandbox.kill()
