Watch files and transform them with streams.

var wb = require('watchbuild');
var marked = require('marked');
var through = require('through2');
 
// convert 'test.md' to html and write the result to 'test.html'
// whenever 'test.md' it changes
wb({ './test.md': './test.html' }, function () { return marked; });
 
// also supports streams
wb({ './foo.md': './foo.html' }, function () {
  return through(function (buf, _, next) {
    this.push(marked(buf.toString()));
    next();
  });
});
 
// and globs
wb({ './*bar.md': 'bar.html', './*foo.md': 'foo.html' }, function () { return marked; });
