base-watch NPM version Build Status

Watch plugin for base applications.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install base-watch --save

Heads up this plugin requires the [base-tasks][] plugin to be registered first.

Usage

var watch = require('base-watch');

var Base = require('base');
var base = new Base();

base.use(watch());

If you're using assemble or assemble-core you can add the plugin like this:

assemble

var watch = require('base-watch');

var assemble = require('assemble');
var app = assemble();

app.use(watch());

assemble-core

var watch = require('base-watch');

var assemble = require('assemble-core');
var app = assemble();

app.use(watch());

API

If no task(s) or function is specified, only the instance of FSWatcher is returned and can be used directly. See chokidar.watch for more information.

Example

app.use(watch());

watch

Watch a file, directory, or glob pattern for changes and build a task or list of tasks when changes are made. Watch is powered by [chokidar][] so arguments can be anything supported by chokidar.watch.

Params

Example

var watcher = app.watch('templates/pages/*.hbs', ['site']);
