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
