Atom Watch

Fork of mvila's very useful on-save utility.

Our latest projects store configuration within package.json files and all commands are now being managed through npm scripts.

To prevent any future laziness utilities like this are being stripped to bare minimum requirements.

In this package the configuration was removed and we are left with the following:

• Begin watching files on editor load
• Execute npm script on file change

Install

apm install atom-watch

Usage

Create an atomWatch key within the package.json file of a directory you would like to watch.

Specify the files to watch with the command to execute once the file changes. For Example:

"atomWatch": [
    {
        "files": "**/*.js",
        "command": "npm run js:uglify"
    },
    {
        "files": "**/*.scss",
        "command": "npm run scss:compile"
    }
]

Configuration file

atomWatch must be an array of objects with the following properties:

• files: The files you would like to watch. (Globs read by minimatch)
• command: The command to execute.
• alerts (default to true): A boolean indicating whether the error stream (stderr) and output stream (stdout) should be displayed or not.
