nodemon - restart on changes to json files

Question

I'm using 'nodemon' to restart node on file changes. However it doesn't seem to trigger when json files have changed. Anyone know if there is a way to set this up?

Also, is there a programmatic way to restart from within the running app itself? I suppose running it with 'forever' and throwing an error would do it. Any pointers much appreciated

Answer 1

You can specify nodeman configs within package.json file also

"nodemonConfig": {
    "ext": "js, ts, graphql, json"
  }

Answer 2

Marciej's approach worked for me:

nodemon -e js,html

You can also configure this in a nodemon.json config file. Here's how we're currently using it:

{
    "execMap": {
        "js": "node --harmony"
    },
    "script": "server.js",
    "ext": "js html"
}
