Please add 'watch' option to Javascript options object to make watcher work running in nodejs too

[Friksel]

It's great to have a watcher feature on the terminal command, but I also like to use it when using node-sass inside node. Not sure why it's not already there, but a property for node-sass running in javascript to set watch to true would be very welcome!

Watching adds additional complexity that could not possibly be squeezed into the render() function.

Feel free to build an own module based on

node-sass/bin/node-sass

Line 237 in e3ab6e1

function watch(options, emitter) {

and https://github.com/sass/node-sass/blob/e3ab6e18c54a1cf2f1954508942188038a4f19a1/lib/watcher.js

Such a module could be a great contribution to making CLI a separate module altogether #1156

I believe this is exposed on the v5 branch

This is actually duplicate of the issue #1056

We have so many issues around watching feature - maybe this should become a separate project altogether...
