Can I make nodejs work after each modification without restarting server

Question

I'm new to Node.js. For each modification in code, I have to restart server to make it work. I wonder if there are any ways to make it work without restarting server. Thanks.

Check out this npm plugin: https://npmjs.org/package/devreload

There is also a very cool NodeJS based framework called Meteor which does all of this automatically. It is very easy to learn, and does realtime code & content updates. I suggest looking into that as well.

Good luck.

I have not come across any which deploys server side scripts without restarting the server. There are node packages like Forever, Nodemon which listens to changes and deploys automatically.
