Many of us write code on Node.js, click [CTRL+S] to save the file but forget to restart the application.<\/p>\n
If we don’t forget to restart the application we will go in console and hit [CTRL+C] to stop the application and then restart it by pressing the [UP] arrow and [Enter].<\/p>\n
You can automate this repetitive task and make your development process easier by using `nodemon<\/em>`.<\/p>\n `nodemon<\/em>` will watch the files and if any files were changed, the `nodemon<\/em>` will automatically restart your node application.<\/p>\n First, you need to install `nodemon<\/em>`:<\/p>\n Now, you should swap the `node` command for the `nodemon` command:<\/p>\n If you need to manually restart your application, instead of stopping and restart `nodemon`, you can simply type `rs` on your console.<\/p>\n Happy Coding!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Many of us write code on Node.js, click [CTRL+S] to save the file but forget to restart the application.
