Creating a .onsaverc File

To define custom actions to perform after save events, create a .onsaverc file in the your visual code studio workspace. The file should be a JSON file with the following structure:

{
    "watch": "<path_to_directory_to_watch>",
    "execute": "<path_to_javascript_file>"
}

• "watch": The path to the directory you want to watch for saves on.
• "execute": The path to the JavaScript file to execute when a save occurs.

Example

{
    "watch": "./src",
    "execute": "./scripts/on_save_action.js"
}

Notes

• Ensure that the specified JavaScript file contains the logic you want to execute when a file is saved.
