TriggerMate - Automates tasks based on file updates

TriggerMate is a VSCode extension that watches for file changes and automatically executes predefined commands. This helps streamline workflows by ensuring necessary scripts run whenever critical files are updated.

🚀 Features

• Monitor files for changes.
• Execute custom commands automatically.
• Seamlessly integrates into any VSCode workspace.

🔧 Configuration

Configure TriggerMate in your workspace settings (.vscode/settings.json). Define the files to watch and the commands to execute:

{
  "triggerMate.fileTriggers": [
    {
      "file": "frontend/package.json",
      "command": "cd frontend && npm ci"
    },
    {
      "file": "pyproject.toml",
      "command": "poetry install"
    },
    {
      "file": "backend/requirements.txt",
      "command": "pip install -r backend/requirements.txt",
      "autoExecute": true
    },
    {
      "file": "src/**/*.js",
      "command": "npm run lint"
    },
    {
      "file": "docs/**/*.md"
    }
  ]
}

🎯 Example Use Cases

• Run npm ci when package.json changes.
• Automatically install dependencies when pyproject.toml updates.
• Trigger custom scripts based on file modifications.

🛠️ How It Works

1. The extension detects changes in the specified files.
2. A notification prompts you to execute the associated command.
3. On confirmation, the command runs in a new terminal instance.
