NPM - Nodemon

Usually, to reflect the changes in the backend on the front end when developing an app, we have to save changes and rerun the server. Nodemon is a live server library that reflects the changes automatically without us having to do so.

Implementation

Installing Nodemon

npm i nodemon

Running

Once installed we can either run the nodemon directly using the path or NPM commend

▶ Running Directly

Run the command below in the command line

./node_modules/.bin/nodemon ./<serverName>

▶ Running with NPM Command
Open the package.json file and add the nodemon command under the scripts

To run the NPM command added in the scripts, we have to use the below format

npm run <name>

So far we have seen live server library Nodemon.
