Using
PathWatcher = require 'pathwatcher'
PathWatcher.watch(filename, [listener])
Watch for changes on filename
, where filename
is either a file or a
directory. The returned object is a PathWatcher
.
The listener callback gets two arguments (event, path)
. event
can be rename
,
delete
or change
, and path
is the path of the file which triggered the
event.
For directories, the change
event is emitted when a file or directory under
the watched directory got created or deleted. And the PathWatcher.watch
is
not recursive, so changes of subdirectories under the watched directory would
not be detected.
PathWatcher.close()
Stop watching for changes on the given PathWatcher
.
