watch-tree v0.1.1

watch-tree

...is yet another NodeJS FS-watching library. If it happens to suit your needs better than the others, enjoy!

The current implementation maintains a ring of paths (both files and dirs), and stats the next one every (--sample-rate=) ms.

More efficient implementations will be added eventually, including inotify (for Linux) and FSEvents (for Mac), with the appropriate one being compiled at (npm install)-time.

Your code won't notice the difference when that happens, but your battery life might.
