Idea: a command for constantly re-index by watching hiefile

[hw202207]

command

• hiedb -D .hiedb watch .hiefiles

what it does

• watch all .hie files under folder .hiefiles, whenever a file Changed or New (rather Delete), will try to run index
• also might be nicer to run index on individual file

Hi, you can get similar results with entr, then you can use something like fd .hie <some-dir> | entr hiedb -D .hiedb.

Yeah, I'm using similar to do auto reindex. just feel nice to have native support.

Plugging for myself but you can use https://github.com/josephsumabat/hiedb-plugin to handle this automatically for you via ghc
