In node, there's fileSystem.watch(path, ...). Is there something like that in Elixir or Erlang?

Hi Jose,
Thank you so much for the reply. I looked at the library and it's awesome.
However, one thing I can't figure out is how to get it to watch multiple directories without going up to the common root. I looked at the code and it seems (to my noobie eyes) that this is structured as an app, which means it is singleton. Is this correct? Can I spawn multiple processes and manually start the app in each spawned process and customize the path there?

Yeah, it is singleton and currently it can only watch one path.
