gaze-collect

Watches files for you and outputs all the changed files as they change.

var Collector = require('gaze-collect')
var watcher = Collector(['/path/to/dir', '/another/path/to/watched/dir'])

watcher.on('data', function (data) {
  // data is a list of the contents of each runtime as a JSON object
  // e.g. [
  // {
  //   "filepath": "/path/to/dir/another/file",
  //   "data": {etc..}
  //  }
  // ]
  //
})

watcher.close()
