pass directory to render/rendersync

[z1haze]

Why is there no possible way to pass a input file directory to node-sass with using the javascript api? It doesnt make sense that you can only pass a input directory via command line, but you HAVE to pass a file when using the script API. please do something about this, we can can bring our node-sass task into a separate script.

It doesnt make sense

It makes perfect sense. Node Sass only turns a single input file into a single output file. Full stop.

you can only pass a input directory via command line

You can only pass an input directory when using --watch. In this case Node Sass watches the whole directory for changes, and compiles the changed files one at a time.

Compiling a whole directory is a feature we could consider for version 5

So why can we not use watch from the JavaScript all then. It still doesn't make sense that you have functionally in the cli that, isnt doable from the script api.
