Synchronizator

Description

This package is used for synchronizing two directories. All changes made to source directory will be applied to destination directory.

Usage

let Synchronizator = require('synchronizator');
 
let synchronizator = Synchronizator(
    '/path/to/sourceDir',
    '/path/to/destinationDir',
    {
        performInitialSync: true, //perform initial synchronization?
        ignored: [ //path substrings to ignore
            ".git/",
            "someDir/node_modules/",
            "dirName/test.txt"
        ],
        onInitCompleted: function() {
            console.log("Init completed");
            setInterval(() => {
                console.log("Sync queue length: " + synchronizator.getSyncQueueLength());
            }, 1000);
        }
    }
);

Ignored option

Before sync of an item, its path is checked for existence of ignored substrings.

Ignoring directories

When ignoring directories, always include trailing slash '/'. Because if there is a file without extension and with same name as ignored directory, it will be also ignored.

Caution

When a directory is ignored, all of its contents are also ignored.

Examples

Example 1: Ignore directory

ignored: [
    "node_modules/"
]

Will match paths like this:

/node_modules
/project/node_modules
/project/someDir/node_modules
...

Example 2: Ignore file

ignored: [
    "someFile.txt"
]

Will match paths like this:

/someFile.txt
/project/someFile.txt
/project/node_modules/someFile.txt
...

Example 3: Ignore file in specified directory

ignored: [
    "someDir/someFile.txt"
]

Will match paths like this:

/project/someDir/someFile.txt
/project/subDir/someDir/someFile.txt
...

But won't match paths like this:

/someFile.txt
/project/someFile.txt
/project/someDir/subDir/someFile.txt
...
