gulp-watch uses chokidar which uses fsevents which is much better than fs polling or relying on fs.watch. fsevents use only one FD per watch invocation as opposed to one FD per watched directory and any subdirectory. this should improve the situation with EMFILE errors (caused by lack of available file descriptors) ---- I also tried the following: gulp-sane: requires watchman installation via brew so I didn't want to request that everyone goes throught that yet gulp-chokidar: didn't work, seems to be obsolete

Examples
To see the examples, first build the project as described here.
Hello World Example
This example consists of three basic pieces - a component, a decorator, and a
service. They are all constructed via injection. For more information see the
comments in the source modules/examples/src/hello_world/index.js
.
You can build this example as either a JS or a Dart app:
- JS:
$(npm bin)/gulp build.js.dev
, and$(npm bin)/gulp serve.js.dev
, and- open
localhost:8000/examples/src/hello_world/
in Chrome.
- Dart:
$(npm bin)/gulp serve/examples.dart
, and- open
localhost:8080/src/hello_world
in Chrome (for dart2js) or Dartium (for Dart VM).
