nodemon: Execute the specified file and watch a specific file for changes.
$ nodemon ${filename-js}
try on your machine
The command nodemon ${filename-js}
is used to run a JavaScript file using Nodemon.
Nodemon is a utility tool for Node.js-based applications that automatically restarts the application when a file change is detected. It is extremely useful during development to avoid manual restarting of the server every time a change is made.
Here's how the command breaks down:
nodemon
is the executable command to run the script using Nodemon.${filename-js}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the JavaScript file you want to run. Typically, it would have a.js
extension.
For example, if you have a file named app.js
, you would run the command nodemon app.js
to start the application with Nodemon. This would enable Nodemon to monitor the app.js
file for any changes and automatically restart the application whenever a change is detected.
