How to make fs watch in node.js watch files in subfolders?

Question

Node.js

node.js documentation has this example:

fs.watch('./', { encoding: 'utf8' }, (eventType, filename) => {
  if (filename) {
    console.log(filename);
  }
});

it watches the files in the "./" folder, but this folder contains, for example, the "somedir" folder, and if you change the files in it, the fs.watch module does not work. Please tell me how to solve this?

fs.watch('./', { encoding: 'utf8', recursive: true }, (eventType, filename) => {
  if (filename) {
    console.log(filename);
  }
});
