lovr.filechanged

Edit

The lovr.filechanged callback is called when a file is changed. File watching must be enabled, either by passing --watch when starting LÖVR or by calling lovr.filesystem.watch.

Currently, only files in the source directory are watched. On Android, files in the sdcard directory are watched.

function lovr.filechanged(path, action, oldpath)
  -- your code here
end

Notes

LÖVR provides a default implementation for lovr.filechanged that restarts the project if a non-hidden file was changed:

function lovr.filechanged(path)
  if not path:match('^%.') then
    lovr.event.restart()
  end
end
