Feature: events for create / update / delete of files

[DaanV2]

Thinking of how this can be turned into an LSP for IDE like vscode, or just general tools.

It would be great if there was a watch mode like most testframeworks / typescript compilers have 🤔

(you add --watch to the cli).

I have been thinking on how this tool could serve as the basis (or library) for such a tool / LSP for IDE.

But it would require a feature to be put in, that I know from the blockception vscode extension:

• The dataset can deal with the creation, update, or deletion of a file, and those events can also trigger new diagnostic changes or updates.

So my request is that you add / change / refactor the codebase to allow for such events, (create, update or delete of files).

• This usually requires tracking or mapping of URI to identifiers. And even possibly tracking who references who

Let me know more detail on how you are thinking of using this, but I could maybe add some filesystemwatcher behaviors/events and have MCTools get smarter about auto-reloading files if they are touched. That would make mctools better - especially when editing local files, but would that be useful for your scenario?

intheory yes, all LSP for IDE like vscode are driven on events like:

onSave onClose onDelete onCreate

so having that baseline supported in this would allow at least for creating an LSP. since all it really does is query a dataset and apply new changes :)

If you want I can show demo some of the internal workings of the blockceptions vscode and LSP's
