A thin wrapper around node-sass executable to use chokidar instead of Gaze when watching files.
All the functionality of the node-sass executable is still intact, the only difference being chokidar instead of Gaze for watching files.
Why? Because Gaze in docker and various virtual machines uses a lot of resources whereas chokidar does not. Read about the advantages of chokidar
When using node-sass --watch in docker for mac you will get really high CPU usage with com.docker.hyperkit and com.docker.osxfs (I've seen reports of up to 300%).
The cause of this is the node-sass dependency on Gaze. This package fixes this issue by using chokidar with node-sass instead of Gaze.
The exact same as the node-sass executable except:
- the
--recursiveflag is non-configurable and always set to true. - why? forcing chokidar to be non-recursive is beyond the scope of this package
example:
node-sass-chokidar src/ -o src/ --watch --recursive
