fs.notify

fs.notify was born out of annoyance. The state of the fs#watch API in
Node.js is sad, it assumes that you as developer build your own abstraction on
top of it, because it basically can't guarantee file names or that it even works
on all platforms. And all other "simple" watching modules had to much bugs and
performance issues. oh and it pleases my
NIH syndrome.

tl;dr

fs.notify is file watching module for Node.js that doesn't suck hairy monkey
balls and actually works.

API

``js var Notify = require('fs.notify');

var files = [ '/path/to/file', '/file/i/want/to/watch' ];

var notifications = new Notify(files); notifications.on('change', function (file, event, path) { console.log('caught a ' + event + ' event on ' + path); });

// if you want to add more files you can use the notifications.add([path, morepaths]);

// kill everything notifications.close();``
