changeling

changeling is a readable stream that watches a file for changes and then outputs its contents.

Install

npm install changeling

Example

var changeling = require('changeling')
var file = changeling('/path/to/file')
 
file.pipe(process.stdout)
 
// Stop watching after 10 seconds
setTimeout(function() {
  file.close()
}, 10000)

Note

If a file is deleted while being watched, an error will be emitted from the relevant changeling object.
