clearing terminal while Nodemon is running?

Question

Is there any way to clear terminal while nodemon is running? I am using Ubuntu 18.04

Answer 1

Insert the following code into the nodemon.json file.

{
    "events": {
      "start": "clear"
    }
}

Answer 2

This is what the nodemon events are for. You can include either a global or local nodemon.json file as per the following to do what you're after.

   {
      "events": {
        "start": "echo -ne '\\ec'"
      }
    }
