Reload Express.js routes changes without manually restarting server

Question

I tried express-livereload, but it just reloaded view files.

Should I use another tool, or this one can be configured to watch for my index.js

Answer 1

I think Nodemon has what you're looking for.

Nodemon is a utility that will monitor for any changes in your source and automatically restart your server. Perfect for development.

Example invocation:

nodemon index.js
