NAME¶
Catalyst::Restarter - Uses File::ChangeNotify to check for changed files and
restart the server
SYNOPSIS¶
my $class = Catalyst::Restarter->pick_subclass;
my $restarter = $class->new(
directories => '/path/to/MyApp',
regex => '\.yml$|\.yaml$|\.conf|\.pm$',
start_sub => sub { ... }
);
$restarter->run_and_watch;
DESCRIPTION¶
This is the base class for all restarters, and it also provide functionality for
picking an appropriate restarter subclass for a given platform.
This class uses File::ChangeNotify to watch one or more directories of files and
restart the Catalyst server when any of those files changes.
METHODS¶
pick_subclass¶
Returns the name of an appropriate subclass for the given platform.
new ( start_sub => sub { ... }, ... )¶
This method creates a new restarter object, but should be called on a subclass,
not this class.
The "start_sub" argument is required. This is a subroutine reference
that can be used to start the Catalyst server.
run_and_watch¶
This method forks, starts the server in a child process, and then watched for
changed files in the parent. When files change, it kills the child, forks
again, and starts a new server.
