Node.js Server Start and Stop

Question

I am starting to learn Node.js and one of the annoying things I am encountering is the starting and stopping of the server when I make a small change to the .js file. Any alternatives?

Answer 1

You can try installing

npm install -g nodemon

And then you run your server

nodemon server.js localhost 8080

That automatically makes you restart the server every time you save new changes
