Is there a way to add a folder to leptos watch ?

[Baptistemontan]

leptos_i18n loads files in a folder called locales in the root of the project, is there a way to add this folder to cargo watch so when the locales change the app reload ?

Oh hm, interesting. Here's the logic for which files are watched:
https://github.com/leptos-rs/cargo-leptos/blob/ba4033f0dfdd7a95bd2254a0a73a6f7381e9a063/src/service/notify.rs#L18-L38

• lib/bin dependencies (Cargo.toml rust dependencies and your local src)
• js_dir
• assets directory
• style and Tailwind-related files

I wonder if something hacky like js-dir = "locales" in your Cargo.toml cargo-leptos config would do it.

Maybe there should be a "watch additional files" config option here.

Interesting, when using js-dir = "locales" and watching it does output

Notify watching folders  locales, public, src, *other folders*..

So locales appear in the watched folder, but modifying a file in the folder and saving it does not trigger a reload.

hoooo I get it, I added a whatever.js file in the locales folder, and it does track it, so it tracks only javascript files, not json files

An option for additionnal files would be great, there would probably be other situations where this could be handy

[Baptistemontan]

yeah js-dir only watch javascript files (not even typescript files): https://github.com/leptos-rs/cargo-leptos/blob/ba4033f0dfdd7a95bd2254a0a73a6f7381e9a063/src/service/notify.rs#L99

I made a PR to add such feature: leptos-rs/cargo-leptos#191
