Virtual filesystem to pipe, monitor and process your datas. Written in C++11.
- http/folder mounting and watching
- if asset "corner-left.png" has changed, mark all libraries that include "corner-left.png" as touched
- then send reload message to all entities that use touched libraries
- then send reload message to all games that use touched entities
- then send reload message to all applications that loaded touched games
- and so on...
- hash functions [arya,file,zippath] -> number -> physical file offset,size
- a/sync loading api (load and preload/sync)
- hot reloading <-> implies folder/file watching, also resource dependencies and libraries
- automatic libraries : bimap : resources in entity E, entities with resource X.
- vfs pipe in / out
- vfs link,unlink,assign,use,bind
- rw > ro [data], $cache > $home,
- output sqlite/lmdb
- folder mounting
- unzip files
- motivation:
int main()
{
// sync api
const auto data = wm.load(hash);
// async api
{
wm sync("stage"); // raii sync
wm.preload(hash, [ok], [fail]);
}
const auto data = wm.load(hash);
// rw is monitored, ro is not
set<entity> entities;
for( auto &any : wm.files_in("rw/**") ) {
if( any.just_added() || any.just_updated() || any.just_deleted() ) {
for( auto &file : any.dependencies() ) {
entities.insert_set( entities_using(file) );
}
}
}
on( entities, RELOAD );
