Starting Loopback with nodemon

Question

I would like to restart automatically my local strongloop/loopback app when js & json are modified. I am testing with nodemon but the app is always restarting even if js or json are not modified.

Is there an alternative for solving this problem ?

Thanks, Christophe

if you would like to run the project with nodemon just add dev command under the script json object and add additional config json inside of the package.json file.

"scripts": {
  ...
  "dev" : "nodemon src/index.ts",
  ...
},
"nodemonConfig": {
  "verbose": true,
  "watch": [ "src/" ],
  "ignore": [ "dist/*" ],
  "ext": "ts",
  "exec": "npm start"
},

and then run the project with command npm run dev.
