Pipe the contents of one file into a command and write the result to another file, and do this every time the input file changes. Kind of like an extremely simple CLI for watchbuild.
$ npm install -g wpipe
wpipe <in> <out> <cmd>
Where <in> is a glob pattern or file path of the file to watch, <out> is the output file, and <cmd> is the command that is used to transform file contents.
Basically, all that wpipe does is execute something like this:
$ cat <in> | <cmd> > <out> # except you replace <in>, <out> & <cmd>
# with actual file names
Every time <in> changes.
Start watching infile and transform its contents by piping them into cmd and write the result to outfile.
