fs.watch fired twice when I change the watched file

Question

 fs.watch( \'example.xml\', function ( curr, prev ) {
   // on file change we can read the new xml
   fs.readFile( \'example.xml\',\'utf8\', function ( err, data ) {         


        

Answer 1

Easiest solution:

const watch = (path, opt, fn) => {
  var lock = false
  fs.watch(path, opt, function () {
    if (!lock) {
      lock = true
      fn()
      setTimeout(() => lock = false, 1000)
    }
  })
}
watch('/path', { interval: 500 }, function () {
  // ...
})
