I'm trying to setup my own nodejs server, but I'm having a problem. I can't figure out how to see changes to my application without restarting it. Is there a way to edit the application and see changes live with node.js?

Nodemon is a package for handling this restart process automatically when changes occur in the project file. It will show the version of nodemon as shown in the below screenshot. Now, when we make changes to our nodejs application, the server automatically restarts by nodemon as shown in the below screenshot.
Node. js is a JavaScript framework for writing server-side applications. In its simplest form it allows you to trigger small JavaScript programs from the command line without any browser involved. For example, assuming node is installed if you write a JavaScript program in a file called hello.
The usual way to run a Node. js program is to run the globally available node command (once you install Node. js) and pass the name of the file you want to execute. While running the command, make sure you are in the same directory which contains the app.
Nodules is a module loader for Node that handles auto-reloading of modules without restarting the server (since that is what you were asking about):

Nodules does intelligent dependency tracking so the appropriate module factories are re-executed to preserve correct references when modules are reloaded without requiring a full restart.
