io-event-reactor-plugin-chokidar

Chokidar filesystem event monitor plugin for the io-event-reactor module

Usage

To configure this MonitorPlugin in your application that uses io-event-reactor do the following

npm install io-event-reactor-plugin-chokidar

Then in your io-event-reactor configuration object that you pass to the IoReactorService constructor, you will specify this plugin in the monitor block as so:

var ioReactorServiceConf = {

  ...

  ioReactors: [

          {
              id: "reactor1",

              monitor: {
                  plugin: "io-event-reactor-plugin-chokidar",

                  config: {

                      // the paths to have chokidar monitor
                      paths: ['path1/','/path2/x', ....],

                      // the options below are standard Chokidar options
                      // see: https://github.com/paulmillr/chokidar
                      options: {
                          alwaysStat: false,
                          awaitWriteFinish: {
                              stabilityThreshold: 200,
                              pollInterval: 100
                          },
                          ignoreInitial:true
                      }
                  }
              },

              evaluators: [...],
              reactors:[...]
        },
        ....
    ]

    ...
};
