[Bigpipe] plugin that will watch added pages, pagelets and their views for easy
developing. As soon as a file is changed the content will be rediscovered and
reloaded into Bigpipe's internals.

[Bigpipe]: https://github.com/bigpipe/bigpipe

Features

- Watches the files of both temper and compiler
- Will utilize compiler to preprocess the files if required
- Debounces file changes and refreshes

Installation

The watch plugin is released to npm and can be installed using:

``bash
npm install bigpipe-watch --save
`

To use the plugin from Bigpipe, simply add it after Bigpipe is initialized or
add it to options#plugins. bigpipe.use will execute the plugin logic. Make sure
the plugin name is unique, e.g. watch by default.

`js
// Usage after initialization
var watch = require('watch')
, Pipe = require('bigpipe');

var pipe = new Pipe(http.createServer(), {
pages: __dirname + '/pages',
public: __dirname + '/public'
}).listen(8080).use(watch);
`

`js
// Usage through createServer options
var watch = require('watch')
, Pipe = require('bigpipe');

var pipe = Bigpipe.createServer(8080, {
pages: __dirname + '/pages',
public: __dirname + '/public',
plugins: [ watch ]
});
``
