$ npm install ischanged

SYNC missed versions from official npm registry.

Ischanged

Check time of file modification. If it's changed probable file was changed to. There is no 100% assurance that is was, but it works much faster then check by hash.

Install

npm i ischanged --save

Hot to use?

const ischanged = require('ischanged');

const is = await ischanged('/etc/passwd');
// returns
true

await ischanged('/etc/passwd');
// returns
false

How it works?

Ischanged saves time of file modification to file ischanged/<uid>/changes.json in Temp directory and then checks whas it changed or not.

So it something like watch but:

should be called by hand;
could detect modifications after restart of application;
