Package cloudeng.io/io/reloadfs
import cloudeng.io/io/reloadfs
Package reloadfs provides an implemtation of fs.FS whose contents can be selectively reloaded from disk. This allows for default contents to be embedded in a binary, typically via go:embed, to be overridden at run time if so desired. This can be useful for configuration files as well web server assets.
Functions
Func New
func New(root, prefix string, embedded fs.FS, opts ...Option) fs.FS
New returns a new fs.FS that will dynamically reload files that have either been changed, or optionally only exist, in the filesystem as compared to the embedded files. See ReloadAfter and LoadNewFiles. If ReloadAfter is not specified the current time is assumed, that is, files whose modification time is after that will be reloaded. For a file to be reloaded either its modification time or size have to differ. Comparing sizes can catch cases where the file system time granularity is coarse. This leaves the one corner case of a file being modified without changing either its size or modification time.
The prefix is prepended to the argument supplied to Open to obtain the full name passed to the supplied FS below. The root and prefix are prepended to obtain the name to be used in the newly returned FS, typically a local file system. For example, given:
//go:embed assets/*.html
var htmlAssets embed.FS
With the reloadable assets in /tmp/overrides, then New should be called as:
New("/tmp/overrides", "assets", htmlAssets)
Currently files are reloaded when Open'ed, in the future support may be provided to watch for changes and reload (or update metdata) those ahead of time. Reloaded files are not cached and will be reloaded on every access.
Types
Type Action
type Action int
Action represents the action taken by the implementation of fs.FS.
Constants
ReloadedExisting, ReloadedNewFile, Reused, NewFilesNotAllowed
ReloadedExisting Action = iota
ReloadedNewFile
Reused
NewFilesNotAllowed
The set of available actions.
Methods
func (a Action) String() string
Type Option
type Option func(*reloadable)
Option represents an option to ReloadableFS.
Functions
func WithLogger(logger *slog.Logger) Option
WithLogger provides a logger to be used by the underlying implementation.
func WithNewFiles(a bool) Option
WithNewFiles controls whether files that exist only in file system and not in the embedded FS are returned. If false, only files that exist in the embedded FS may be reloaded from the new FS.
func WithReloadAfter(t time.Time) Option
WithReloadAfter sets the time after which assets are to be reloaded rather than reused. Note that the current implementation of go:embed does not record
