Witness

Monitor file system changes using Swift. Witness provides a wrapper around the File System Events API for OS X.

Installation

The recommended way to include Witness in your project is by using Carthage. Simply add this line to your Cartfile:

github "njdehoog/Witness" ~> 0.1

If you're using Swift 4, point your Cartfile to the swift_4 branch.

github "njdehoog/Witness" "swift_4"

Usage

Import the framework

import Witness

Monitor file system events

This will trigger an event when a file in the Desktop directory is created, deleted or modified.

if let desktopPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DesktopDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true).first {
    self.witness = Witness(paths: [desktopPath], flags: .FileEvents, latency: 0.3) { events in
        print("file system events received: \(events)")
    }
}
