Simple nodemon.json config to watch all except for certain files

Question

nodemon.json :

{
  "verbose": true,
  "ignore": [
    ".git",
    "node_modules",
    "*.marko.js"
  ],
  "watch": [
    "**/*"
  ]
}

I'd like for nodemon to watch every file in every directory except for those which I specifically set to ignore.

The above config isn't doing it:

[nodemon] files triggering change check: src/template.marko
[nodemon] matched rule: **/src/**/*
[nodemon] changes after filters (before/after): 1/0

It doesn't restart.

Answer 1

I had the same issue earlier, it seems the nodemon.json doesn't do the thing, so try to do it in an inline commnad :

nodemon --ignore '.git'

(you can put this as a npm script as well)

Answer 2

You may want to consider using browser-refresh . It's not a drop-in replacement for nodemon but it does a lot of the same things. browser-refresh watches everything and you can configure what you don't want to watch using a .browser-refresh-ignore file that is in the same format as .gitignore .

Internally, browser-refresh uses ignoring-watcher

尝试这个：

"ignoreRoot": [".git", ...],
