Nodemon等效于npm run dev

Question

I've just started using the whole javascript and node.js environment. To start an existing project I run three commands npm install , npm run all and finally npm run dev to start the application in my browser.

Now, whenever I update the code I stop the current running dev via Ctrl+C , press arrow up key to get npm run dev in my terminal again and hit Enter . I believe there is a better way of doing this repetitive task, like Nodemon .

But, what is the aequivalent command for that, so that the updates I make in the code automatically become visible in the browser?

I have three files which do not work with nodeman: package.json , Gruntfile.js , app/index.js . Moreover, I tried nodemon --exec npm run dev which permanently does sth, but does not start my application.

Do you have any suggestions?

Answer 1

Yes, I would look at the --exec flag on nodemon . You could do something like:

nodemon --exec npm run dev

This will run npm run dev every time a source file changes. Read the nodemon NPM page to get a better idea of how to use it.
