Nodemon: Detailed Overview & Metrics

v3.1.7(2 months ago)

Nodemon is a utility tool for Node.js applications that automatically restarts the server when file changes are detected. It is commonly used during the development phase to streamline the development process by eliminating the need to manually stop and restart the server after each code change. Nodemon enhances developer productivity by providing a seamless workflow and reducing downtime during development.

Compared to alternatives like Node.js's built-in 'node' command or 'forever', Nodemon offers a more convenient and efficient way to monitor file changes and restart the server. Its simplicity and ease of use make it a popular choice among Node.js developers.
