Switch from fb-watchman to chokidar #746

Closed paulmillr closed 1 year ago

paulmillr commented 4 years ago

Have you considered switching from fb-watchman, which is made by Facebook; to Chokidar, which VS Code uses by itself?

The switch will ensure there's one less native dependency, which means less chance of something going wrong during compilation phase. Chokidar uses fsevents macos-native pkg, but it's n-api-exposed (effectively no compilation).

You want "almost no code" — chokidar will help! Rollup by itself also uses chokidar, so you won't really add a new package.
