chokidar watcher with globs support

extracted from karma: https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/blob/master/lib/watcher.js

API

The module returns a watch function:

watch(patterns, excludes = [], options = {})

• patterns is a string or an array of strings containing the glob patterns you want to watch
• exludes is an optional array of glob patterns you want to ignore
• options is a optional option object to pass to chokidar, note that the ignored property on that object will be overridden internally so don't use it.

Sample

var resolve = require('path').resolve;
var watch = require('chokidar-miniwatch');

var watcher = watch(resolve('./*+(js|coffee)'), null, { persistent: true });
watcher
  .on('add', function(path) { console.log('file added: %s', path); })
  .on('change', function(path) { console.log('file modified: %s', path); })
  .on('unlink', function(path) { console.log('file removed: %s', path); });
