Using the nodemon Command

Watch files and automatically restart a node application when changes are detected. More information: <https://github.com/remy/nodemon/tree/main/doc/cli>.

  • Execute the specified file and watch a specific file for changes:

nodemon *path/to/file.js*

  • Manually restart nodemon (note nodemon must already be active for this to work):

rs

  • Ignore specific files:

nodemon *[-i|--ignore]* *path/to/file_or_directory*

  • Pass arguments to the node application:

nodemon *path/to/file.js* *arguments*

  • Pass arguments to node itself if they’re not nodemon arguments already (e.g. --inspect):

nodemon *arguments* *path/to/file.js*

  • Run an arbitrary non-node script:

nodemon *[-x|--exec]* "*command_to_run_script* *options*" *path/to/script*

  • Run a Python script:

nodemon *[-x|--exec]* "python *options*" *path/to/file.py*
