ReadonlyisWatching

dispose

• dispose(): void

  Disposes every native watcher and pending timer.

  Returns void

onDidChange

• onDidChange(listener: (events: FileWatcherEvent[]) => void): { dispose(): void }

  Registers a listener for debounced, batched events. Listener failures are isolated and swallowed so the remaining listeners still receive the batch; handle/report expected failures inside the listener.

  Parameters

  • listener: (events: FileWatcherEvent[]) => void

  Returns { dispose(): void }

pause

• pause(): void

  Pauses delivery and discards the batch building up in the debounce window. Native watchers stay registered; resuming does not replay dropped events — dispose and recreate the watcher to catch up instead.

  Returns void

resume

• resume(): void

  Resumes delivery.

  Returns void
