Nodemon Killer, Built-in NodeJS Feature

·

1 min read

Previously we need to restart the node server when any changes are made in any of the file to see that change in the app

As a solution to this nodemon was introduced: So that nodemon will automatically restart the server when we make changes in any of the files

New Era, New Solution

With the release of node version v19.0.0, Now we don't need any external package like nodemon to restart the server. The solution is built-in into node

NOTE: This new feature is only available for node version 18.11 and up

So now instead of running:

nodemon <filename>.js

We can use the watch flag for node:

node --watch <filename>.js
