watchman

Install

npm install -g @dot-event/cli @dot-event/spawn @dot-event/watchman

You'll also need to start watchman (brew install watchman).

Usage

In the examples below, we want to trigger npm run build when *.js changes:

dot watchman --glob="*.js" --command=npm --args=run --args=build

Detect glob from script entry

If you have a package.json script with the glob somewhere in it:

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "babel *.js --out-dir dist --source-maps"
  }
}

The --script option is a quick way to add a trigger:

dot watchman --script=build
