I don't maintain this repo anymore, but i can change owner if there are somebody who want maintain.
A watcher file/folder changed for Node-RED, based on chokidar
Because the natif node watcher is low level, and trigger "add file" event before file is completed copy on disk. then we need delai and RBE node ...
The other watcher (wfwatcher) check recursively and attach filename to payload... Most of nodes who work with file check msg.filename.
So this plugin attach to msg :
On configuration side we can :
Have Node-RED installed and working, if you need to install Node-RED see here.
Install via Node-RED Manage Palette
node-red-contrib-watchdirectory
Install via npm
$ cd ~/.node-red
$ npm install node-red-contrib-watchdirectory
# then restart node-red
