This is a completely rewritten version, **much faster** and in a more **memory-efficient** way.
So with recent nodejs under OS X or Windows you can do something like this:
Now it's fast to watch **deep** directories on macOS and Windows, since the `recursive` option is natively supported except on Linux.

* Some editors will generate temporary files which will cause the callback function to be triggered multiple times.
* When watching a single file the callback function will only be triggered once.
* The callback function will only be triggered once on watching a single file.
* <del>Missing an option to watch a directory recursively.</del>
* Recursive watch is not supported on Linux or in older versions of nodejs.
* Keep it simple, stupid.
## Options
The usage and options of `node-watch` are compatible with [fs.watch](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v7.x/docs/api/fs.html#fs_fs_watch_filename_options_listener).
* `persistent: Boolean` (default **true**)
* `recursive: Boolean` (default **false**)
* `encoding: String` (default **'utf8'**)
**Extra options**
* `filter: RegExp | Function`
Return that matches the filter expression.
```js
// filter with regular expression
watch('./', { filter: /\.json$/ });
// filter with custom function
watch('./', { filter: f => !/node_modules/.test(f) });
```
## Events
The events provided by the callback function is either `update` or `remove`, which is less confusing to `fs.watch`'s `rename` and `change`.
