Watchr normalises the node.js watching functionality between 0.4's fs.watchFile
, and 0.6's fs.watch
, and adds support for watching entire directories including their far descendants (some call this recursive directory watching)
-
JavaScript
// Requires require('coffee-script'); # watchr dependency var watchr = require('watchr'); // Watch watchr.watch(path,function(){ console.log('something changed inside the directory'); });
-
CoffeeScript
# Requires watchr = require('watchr') # Watch watchr.watch path, -> console.log('something changed inside the directory')
npm install watchr
Support can be found in the github issue tracker
