DirectoryWatcher

type Event =
| ICreatedEvent
| IModifiedEvent
| IDeletedEvent

interface ICreatedEvent {
  type: 'created'
  target: Target
  pathname: string
}

interface IModifiedEvent {
  type: 'modified'
  target: Target.File
  pathname: string
}

interface IDeletedEvent {
  type: 'deleted'
  target: Target
  pathname: string
}

enum Target {
  File = 'file'
, Directory = 'directory'
}

class DirectoryWatcher {
  events: readonly Event[]

  constructor(dirname: string)

  observe(): Observable<Event>
  start(): Promise<void>
  stop(): void
  reset(): void

  isChanged(): boolean
  isFileCreated(filename: string): boolean
  isDirectoryCreated(dirname: string): boolean
  isFileModified(filename: string): boolean
  isDirectoryModified(dirname: string): boolean
  isFileDeleted(filename: string): boolean
  isDirectoryDeleted(dirname: string): boolean
}

DirectoryWatcher based on event sourcing, reset can clear events. A watcher can only be started and stopped once.

The following method checks "whether this condition is eventually true", not "whether this event has occurred":

• isFileCreated
• isDirectoryCreated
• isFileModified
• isDirectoryModified
• isFileDeleted
• isDirectoryDeleted
