nodemon is a command-line wrapper for Node.js that watches your source files and automatically restarts the application when changes are detected. It requires no code changes—simply replace `node` with `nodemon` when running your script during development.
Use cases
- automatically restart node server when files change
- hot reload nodejs app during development
- watch directory for file changes and rerun script
- run any executable with auto-restart on save
- avoid manually restarting server after code edits
When to choose
- you're developing a Node.js application and want automatic restarts on file changes
- you want a zero-config wrapper that works with existing scripts and package.json
- you need to watch and rerun non-node executables like python or make
When to avoid
- in production, where you should use a process manager like pm2 or systemd
- for frontend-only hot reloading, where bundler dev servers are a better fit
