Observe files for changes and take described action.

If you haven't used grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a gruntfile as well as install and use grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-contrib-regarde --save-dev

Add a regarde section in your Gruntfile.js to list the files to observe as well as the task to fire when one of these files change.

Type: String|Array

This lists patterns describing files to observe. This can be either a string or an array.

Type: String|Array

Defines the tasks to run when an observed file change. Note that this is optional (in case it is missing, an implicit events: true will be inserted in the configuration)

Type: boolean Default: false

Whether or not the tasks will be launched in a spawned subprocess. Note that in this case, the spawned task has no information on which file changed.

Type: boolean Default: false

Whether or not regarde should send out events each time a file chnage. If this option is true, regarde will launch the following events:

• file:changed
• file:deleted
• file:added

with the name of the file in parameter.

grunt.initConfig({
  regarde: {
    js: {
      files: '**/*.js',
      tasks: ['jshint'],
      spawn: true
    },
    css: {
      files: '**/*.scss',
      events: true
    }
  }
});
