Livereload for node.js. Is there possible?

Question

Every time i modify my node.js files from server i need to stop the server and run again node app.js to see the changes.

Is there a way to see changes without stop/start server ?

Answer 1

Yes, nodemon is a utility that will monitor for any changes in your source and automatically restart your server.

1. Install nodemon globally npm install nodemon -g

2. Run the server nodemon app.js
