Nodemon: Detailed Overview & Metrics
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 the developer experience by providing a seamless workflow and saving time during the development cycle.
Compared to manually restarting the server or using other similar tools like PM2, Nodemon offers a lightweight and easy-to-use solution specifically tailored for Node.js development. Its simplicity and efficiency make it a popular choice among Node.js developers.
