    Not a feature request but merely a note about another similar project, entr. Do you know it? How do you think entr and crow compare to each other? Maybe it's worth mentioning it in the readme as related project.

  • Pipe

    Pipe

    Fixes #2

    Changes Introduced

    • Ability to input filenames from stdin to watch

    This uses a little bit of a hack since extensions just matches the suffix instead of using .go or actual extensions we can just add the full path.

    We should deprecate the -w and -e fields and replace it with -f/--files, if the -f flag isn't provided then we should look in the current directory and look at all extensions.

  • Pipe filenames from `stdin`

    Pipe filenames from `stdin`

    Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be cool to pipe in file names from stdin like entr does.

    Describe the solution you'd like Ability to pipe in filenames from programs like fd, ls, echo, find, etc...

    fd .go | crow go test ./...

    This makes crow really extensible in terms of limiting files being watched.

    Describe alternatives you've considered Introducing another flag for file names --files

  • Deprecate `--watch` and `--ext` flags in favour of `stdin` arguments

    Deprecate `--watch` and `--ext` flags in favour of `stdin` arguments

    Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Deprecate --watch and --ext flags in favour of stdin arguments. Since you can use stdin to get a list of filenames the current flags are redundant because --watch specifies a directory and --ext specifies the extension. Using stdin can always replace these in a more unix way.

    For example:

    1. Watching all markdown files and running glow on README.md
    crow -e .md glow README.md

    fd .md | crow glow README.md
    1. Watching all go files in the src directory and rerunning tests
    crow -w src -e go go test ./...

    fd src -e go | crow go test ./...
