A globbing fs.watch
wrapper built from the best parts of other fine watch libs.
Compatible with Node.js >= 4.x, Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Install the module with: npm install gaze
or place into your package.json
and run npm install
.
var gaze = require('gaze');
// Watch all .js files/dirs in process.cwd()
gaze('**/*.js', function(err, watcher) {
// Files have all started watching
// watcher === this
// Get all watched files
var watched = this.watched();
// On file changed
this.on('changed', function(filepath) {
console.log(filepath + ' was changed');
});
// On file added
this.on('added', function(filepath) {
console.log(filepath + ' was added');
});
// On file deleted
this.on('deleted', function(filepath) {
console.log(filepath + ' was deleted');
});
// On changed/added/deleted
this.on('all', function(event, filepath) {
console.log(filepath + ' was ' + event);
});
// Get watched files with relative paths
var files = this.relative();
});
// Also accepts an array of patterns
gaze(['stylesheets/*.css', 'images/**/*.png'], function() {
// Add more patterns later to be watched
this.add(['js/*.js']);
});
var Gaze = require('gaze').Gaze;
var gaze = new Gaze('**/*');
// Files have all started watching
gaze.on('ready', function(watcher) { });
// A file has been added/changed/deleted has occurred
gaze.on('all', function(event, filepath) { });
gaze('**/*', function(error, watcher) {
if (error) {
// Handle error if it occurred while starting up
}
});
// Or with the alternative interface
var gaze = new Gaze();
gaze.on('error', function(error) {
// Handle error here
});
gaze.add('**/*');

information on glob patterns.

{integer} Interval to pass to fs.watchFile

file/event in millisecondsmode
{string} Force the watch mode. Either 'auto'
(default), 'watch'
(force native events), or 'poll'
(force stat polling).cwd
{string} The current working directory to base file patterns from. Default is process.cwd()

Unwatch all files and reset the watch instance.add(patterns, callback)
Adds file(s) patterns
to be watched.remove(filepath)
Removes a file or directory from being watched. Does not
recurse directories.watched()
Returns the currently watched files.relative([dir, unixify])
Returns the currently watched files with relative paths.
dir
{string} Only return relative files for this directory.unixify
{boolean} Return paths with /
instead of \\
