## Usage
Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.

```javascript
import { Smartchok } from 'smartchok'

let mySmartChok = new Smartchok(['some/path/**/*.any','/absolute/*.js'], chokidarOptions)

mySmartChok.add(['/some/**/*.any']) // add files

mySmartChok.remove('some/**/*.js')

mySmartChok.start() // starts the watch process

mySmartChok.getObservableFor('change').then((observableArg) => {
    observableArg.subscribe(x => {
        // do something here when a change is detected
        // possible events are 'add' | 'addDir' | 'change' | 'error' | 'unlink' | 'unlinkDir' | 'ready' | 'raw'
        // note that the observable is only created once you call .start() on the Smartchok instance
        // hence the promise construction
    })
})

mySmartChok.stop()
```
