Package Exports

inwatch
inwatch/lib/inwatch.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (inwatch) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Filesystem watcher that spawns inotifywait

I made this because I needed a filesystem watcher that works with bun.

Watching files with a chokidar-like API:

import watch from "inwatch"

const watcher = watch("/my/path", {
  recursive: true,
  reject: /node_modules|\.git/,
  ignoreInitial: false,
  ignoreDuplicatesMs: 100,
})

watcher.on("add", ({ path }) => {
  console.log(`"${path}" was added!`)
})

watcher.on("change", ({ path }) => {
  console.log(`"${path}" was changed!`)
})

watcher.on("remove", ({ path }) => {
  console.log(`"${path}" was removed!`)
})

Using the inotifywait wrapper directly:

import { wait } from "inwatch"

const waiter = wait("/my/path", {
  recursive: true,
  exclude: "node_modules|\\.git",
  events: ["modify", "move", "create", "delete"],
  ignoreDuplicatesMs: 100,
})

waiter.on("all", ({ event, watchPath, eventPath }) => {
  console.log(`"${event}" event on "${watchPath}" at "${eventPath}"!`)
})
