Switchboard v1.0.0 & Pro

For more information on what Switchboard is, have a read of my last blog post - Introducting Switchboard.

Over the past few months, I have been working (on & off) on the the first official release for switchboard, v1.0.0. This release adds a number of new features compared to v0.3.0, including support for IN_CLOSE_WRITE events on linux systems.

As well as this, I’ve put together a pro version for switchboard which also adds a number of new features, which I hope anyone who purchases it will enjoy. You can scroll down to the bottom of this post for a pro/enterprise referral link with a discount code for the first year!

What’s new?

As mentioned, v1.0.0 introduces a pro version for switchboard with the following features:

• Support for prioritising specific file events over others.
• Enhanced Regex support so you can watch for any file name or type you choose.
• Support for archival file extractions, .zip/.rar et al.
• Support for optional file removal.
• Product support should you run into any issues.
• Access to product roadmap.
• Priority feature requests.

v1.0.0 of the open-source version adds the following:

• Add support for regex event filtering in both single and multi-consumer modes.
• Fixes a couple of bugs found around the pollingInterval which would cause switchboard to panic and wasn’t handled correctly.
• General bug fixes and some big code refactoring.

In Conclusion

Purchasing either a pro or enterprise license will allow you to use all current and future versions of switchboard-pro as long as your subscription remains active.

Once you purchase switchboard-pro from GumRoad, you’ll get a link to download a binary (choose your OS flavour) as well as an api key to use with the tool. You can pass this as an argument to the watch command via the -k or --api-key flags.
