Provides a better and normalised API between Node's 0.4 watchFile and 0.6's fsWatcher
Watchr provides a better and normalised API between Node's 0.4 watchFile and 0.6's fsWatcher.
You install it via npm istall watchr
, use it via require('watchr').watch(path,listeners,next)
. Listeners will be triggered whenever a change is made on the directory or for anything inside it (including sub-directories and so on) and are in the following format var listener = function(eventName,filePath,fileCurrentStat,filePreviousStat){}
There are three types of events for your listeners at your disposal:
change
: a file has been modifiednew
: a new file or directory has been createdunlink
: a file or a directory has been removedTo wrap it all together, it would look like this:
// Require
watchr = require('watchr')
// Watch a directory or file
watchr.watch(path,function(eventName,filePath,fileCurrentStat,filePreviousStat){
console.log('a watch event occured:',arguments);
});
You can test the above code snippet by installing watchr globally by running npm install -g watchr
to install watchr, then watchr [pathToWatch]
to watchr a particular path, and performing some file system modifications on that path.
Thanks for using Watchr!
