- # fsevents [](https://nodei.co/npm/fsevents/)
-
- Native access to OS X FSEvents in [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/)
-
- The FSEvents API in OS X allows applications to register for notifications of
- changes to a given directory tree. It is a very fast and lightweight alternative
- to kqueue.
-
- This is a low-level library. For a cross-compatible file watching module that
- uses fsevents, check out [Chokidar](https://www.npmjs.com/package/chokidar).
-
- * [Module Site & GitHub](https://github.com/strongloop/fsevents)
- * [NPM Page](https://npmjs.org/package/fsevents)
-
- ## Installation
-
- $ npm install fsevents
-
- ## Usage
-
- ```js
- var fsevents = require('fsevents');
- var watcher = fsevents(__dirname);
- watcher.on('fsevent', function(path, flags, id) { }); // RAW Event as emitted by OS-X
- watcher.on('change', function(path, info) { }); // Common Event for all changes
- watcher.start() // To start observation
- watcher.stop() // To end observation
- ```
-
- ### Events
-
- * *fsevent* - RAW Event as emitted by OS-X
- * *change* - Common Event for all changes
- * *created* - A File-System-Item has been created
- * *deleted* - A File-System-Item has been deleted
- * *modified* - A File-System-Item has been modified
- * *moved-out* - A File-System-Item has been moved away from this location
- * *moved-in* - A File-System-Item has been moved into this location
-
- All events except *fsevent* take an *info* object as the second parameter of the callback. The structure of this object is:
-
- ```js
- {
- "event": "<event-type>",
- "id": <eventi-id>,
- "path": "<path-that-this-is-about>",
- "type": "<file|directory|symlink>",
- "changes": {
- "inode": true, // Has the iNode Meta-Information changed
- "finder": false, // Has the Finder Meta-Data changed
- "access": false, // Have the access permissions changed
- "xattrs": false // Have the xAttributes changed
- },
- "flags": <raw-flags>
- }
- ```
