How to obtain file changes in the current workspace？

[lqd1434]

I need to monitor the file changes in the current workspace to determine whether recompilation is needed before the user debugs. Theia should currently have a service to monitor the file changes in the current workspace. I want to know if I can reuse this service or I need to register one myself.

Hey @lqd1434,

you can just listen to the FileService#onDidFilesChange event to receive all changes that are happening in any of the currently open workspaces.
