Watch plugin for base applications.
Install with npm:
$ npm install base-watch --save
Heads up this plugin requires the [base-tasks][] plugin to be registered first.
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:
var watch = require('base-watch');
var assemble = require('assemble');
var app = assemble();
app.use(watch());
var watch = require('base-watch');
var assemble = require('assemble-core');
var app = assemble();
app.use(watch());
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.
