I need to monitor if some files are created/removed from certain directories.
I've tried to use fs.watch:
let dirs = ['/tmp', '/home/user', './some-dir']
dirs.forEach(function(dir) { fs.watch(dir, (evt, filename) => { if (filename && evt === "rename") { console.log(evt, dir, filename) } })
})But above code will keep returning latest directory in the array. Which is logical. In the same time, the file was added/removed from another directory.
There are some nice third-party modules around such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/chokidar But it has lots of dependencies, so I'm trying to keep up with native node solution for now.
