ACTIVE: Continuous Compilation
==============================

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/synrc/active.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/synrc/active)

Active is a [sync](https://github.com/rustyio/sync) replacement
that uses native file-system OS async listeners to compile and
reload Erlang files, DTL templates and other files. It acts as
FS subscriber under supervision and uses
[mad](https://github.com/synrc/mad) under the hood.

Listen Folders
--------------

### One-level

```erlang
app(App,["ebin",Module|_]) -> load_ebin(App,Module);
app(App,["priv"|_]) -> compile(App);
app(App,["src"|_]) -> compile(App);
app(_,_)-> ok.
```

### Two-level

```erlang
otp(["deps",App|Rest]) -> app(App,Rest);
otp(["apps",App|Rest]) -> app(App,Rest);
otp([Some|Path]) -> app(top(),[Some|Path]);
otp(_) -> ok.
```

Usage
-----

On Mac/Linux/Windows just include into your rebar.config:

    {active, ".*", {git, "git://github.com/synrc/active", {tag,"1.9"}}}

NOTE: on Linux please install inotify-tools.
