nodemon

Watch files and automatically restart a node application when changes are detected.

Execute the specified file and watch a specific file for changes

$ nodemon [path/to/file.js]

Manually restart nodemon (note nodemon must already be active for this to work)

$ rs

Ignore specific files

$ nodemon --ignore [path/to/file_or_directory]

Pass arguments to the node application

$ nodemon [path/to/file.js] [arguments]

Pass arguments to node itself if they're not nodemon arguments already (e.g. --inspect)

$ nodemon [arguments] [path/to/file.js]

Run an arbitrary non-node script

$ nodemon --exec "[command_to_run_script] [options]" [path/to/script]

Run a Python script

$ nodemon --exec "python [options]" [path/to/file.py]
