metawatch

Deep nested directories watch for node.js

• Watch directories recursive
• Rebuild recursive when new directories found or old directories remove
• Deduplicate events with debounce

Usage

const metawatch = require('metawatch');

const watcher = new metawatch.DirectoryWatcher({ timeout: 200 });
watcher.watch('/home/marcus/Downloads');
watcher.watch('/home/marcus/Documents');

watcher.on('change', (fileName) => {
  console.log({ changed: fileName });
});

watcher.on('delete', (fileName) => {
  console.log({ deleted: fileName });
});

watcher.on('before', (changes) => {
  console.log({ changes });
});

watcher.on('after', (changes) => {
  console.log({ changes });
});
