How to use?

  const samuel = require('prophet-samuel');

  // Simple usage, only watch on single directory
  samuel().watch('/path/to/watch').subscribe((data) => {
    console.log(data);
  });

  // Recursive mode
  samuel().watch('/path/to/watch', { recursive: true}).subscribe((data) => {
    console.log(data);
  });

• Notice: Every time we call samuel() a new instance is allocated.
• If a file changed at /path/to/watch/sub/of/sub/dir/updated.txt the data should be:

   {
      event: 'update',
      path: '/path/to/watch/sub/of/sub/dir/updated.txt',
      dir: '/path/to/watch/sub/of/sub/dir',
      root: '/',
      base: 'updated.txt',
      name: 'updated',
      ext: '.txt',
      rel: '/sub/of/sub/dir/'
   }
