Description

@Fast-and-Pythonic

We need the file-watcher function in the local microStudio. For the local microStudio to monitor changes in the project code files. To be able to edit code files in external editors, like VS Code. And so that these changes are displayed in real time in the microStudio code editor and in the developer run window.

A little discussion with Chat-GPT showed that this should not be difficult to do.

Add Chokidar, which is good at monitoring changes in files. As soon as Chokidar detects changes in some project code file, it sends a message to the local server.

The local server updates the data from the modified file.

And sends a message to the browser so that the code is updated there in the Ace microStudio editor. And in the Developer Run window.

It is important. Because the file-watcher function in the local microStudio gives access to a large set of functions of such "adult" editors as VS Code. Almost all the functions that users ask for in microStudio are already available in external code editors. The file-watcher function will immediately satisfy the need for most functions that are not available in microStudio, but they are available in external editors.
