wchd v0.10.3

Extensible watcher daemon (powered by fb-watchman)

A single, resilient connection shared between all packages via the wch client.

const wch = require('wchd');

// create a server
const server = wch(opts);

// watcher methods
wch.connect();
wch.watch(root, opts);
wch.unwatch(root);
wch.stream(dir, query);
wch.query(dir, query);
wch.list();

CLI

• wch start start the daemon
• wch stop stop the daemon

Watching

• wch . watch current directory
• wch -u . unwatch current directory
• wch ./foo watch a relative directory
• wch -u ./foo unwatch a relative directory
• wch . -f watch current directory temporarily

The foreground (-f) watcher is lighter weight, because it only loads plugins that the current directory needs (instead of every plugin that every watched directory needs), and the API server isn't started.
