Im kind of new to this. I have a good grasp on gulp but can't seem to figure out how to have gulp watch my file as prettier changes it. I tried but seem to hit a roadblock.

here's what I have so far. if i run the task on its own it works perfectly but I cant make it watch to any changes on save.

    const gulp = require('gulp');
    const pretty = require('gulp-pretty');

gulp.task('prettify', () =>
  gulp
    .src('src/**/*.js')
    .pipe(
      pretty({
        singleQuote: true,
        trailingComma: 'es5',
      })
    )
    .pipe(gulp.dest('src/'))
);

gulp.task('watch', function() {
   gulp.watch('src/*.js');
});

gulp.task('default', ['watch', 'prettify']);
