Struct AssetWatcher 

pub struct AssetWatcher { /* private fields */ }

Drains filesystem-change events under a project’s assets/ directory.

Holds notify’s RecommendedWatcher alive — drop the AssetWatcher to stop watching.

Implementations

impl AssetWatcher

pub fn new(assets_root: impl Into<PathBuf>) -> Result<Self>

Starts watching assets_root recursively. Future writes / creates / removes under that tree produce events drained via Self::poll.

Returns an error if notify fails to construct a recommended watcher or to register the path (e.g. the path doesn’t exist or the OS denies the watch). The editor passes a path it has just create_dir_all’d, so this should be reliable in practice.

pub fn assets_root(&self) -> &Path

Returns the watched assets root.

pub fn poll(&self) -> Vec<AssetChangeEvent>

Drains all pending events without blocking.

Coalesces repeated Modified events on the same path within the same drain — notify v6 fires multiple Modified for one save on Windows. The order of distinct events is preserved for events on different paths.
