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.

gaze

NPM

Usage

Install the module with: npm install gaze or place into your package.json and run npm install.

const gaze = require('gaze');

// Watch all .js files/dirs in process.cwd()
gaze('**/*.js', (err, watcher) => {
  // Files have all started watching

  // Get all watched files
  const watched = watcher.watched();

  // On file changed
  watcher.on('changed', filepath => {
    console.log(filepath + ' was changed');
  });

  // On file added
  watcher.on('added', filepath => {
    console.log(filepath + ' was added');
  });

  // On file deleted
  watcher.on('deleted', filepath => {
    console.log(filepath + ' was deleted');
  });

  // On changed/added/deleted
  watcher.on('all', (event, filepath) => {
    console.log(filepath + ' was ' + event);
  });

  // Get watched files with relative paths
  const files = watcher.relative();
});

// Also accepts an array of patterns
gaze(['stylesheets/*.css', 'images/**/*.png'], () => {
  // Add more patterns later to be watched
  watcher.add(['js/*.js']);
});

Alternate Interface

const {Gaze} = require('gaze');

const gaze = new Gaze('**/*');

// Files have all started watching
gaze.on('ready', watcher => { });

// A file has been added/changed/deleted has occurred
gaze.on('all', (event, filepath) => { });

Errors

gaze('**/*', (error, watcher) => {
  if (error) {
    // Handle error if it occurred while starting up
  }
});

// Or with the alternative interface
const gaze = new Gaze();
gaze.on('error', error => {
  // Handle error here
});
gaze.add('**/*');

Minimatch / Glob

See isaacs's minimatch for more information on glob patterns.

Documentation

gaze([patterns, options, callback])

  • patterns {String|Array} File patterns to be matched
  • options {Object}
  • callback {Function}
    • err {Error | null}
    • watcher {Object} Instance of the Gaze watcher

Class: gaze.Gaze

Create a Gaze object by instancing the gaze.Gaze class.

const Gaze = require('gaze').Gaze;
const gaze = new Gaze(pattern, options, callback);

Properties

  • options The options object passed in.
    • interval {integer} Interval to pass to fs.watchFile
    • debounceDelay {integer} Delay for events called in succession for the same file/event in milliseconds
    • mode {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().

Events

  • ready(watcher) When files have been globbed and watching has begun.
  • all(event, filepath) When an added, changed, renamed, or deleted event occurs.
  • added(filepath) When a file has been added to a watch directory.
  • changed(filepath) When a file has been changed.
  • deleted(filepath) When a file has been deleted.
  • renamed(newPath, oldPath) When a file has been renamed.
  • end() When the watcher is closed and watches have been removed.
  • error(err) When an error occurs.
  • nomatch When no files have been matched.

Methods

  • emit(event, [...]) Wrapper for EventEmitter.emit. added|changed|renamed|deleted events will also trigger the all event.
  • close() 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 \\ if on Windows.
