Reflex

Run a command when files change

I have been using reflex https://github.com/cespare/reflex for the same thing in some of our docker projects

+1 for reflex, love being able to have a config for development
Example .reflex.conf to run one command when an openapi spec changes and another when any go files change:

-g "spec.yaml" -- bash -c 'make'
-sr "\.go$" -- go run cmd/app/main.go

Then run it with:

reflex -d fancy -c .reflex.conf

Why you should use reflex instead

  • Reflex has no dependencies. No need to install Ruby or anything like that.
  • Reflex uses an appropriate file watching mechanism to watch for changes efficiently on your platform.
  • Reflex gives your command the name of the file that changed.
  • No DSL to learn -- just give it a shell command.
  • No plugins.
  • Not tied to any language, framework, workflow, or editor.
