API

datbot(key, reducer(path), ?options, ?callback(exitCodes))

Takes a Dat key that's forwarded to dat-node and a reducer function, that gets a string containing the path of the currently changed file and returns an Array of commands (string). The path here isn't reliable, when many files are changed at the same time.

Optionally you can pass a callback function, that gets called after each update containing an Array of exit codes.

Defaults of options:

{
  rate: 2500,      // miliseconds between update calls
  output: <key>    // output directory for the Dat archive
}
