Nohup Nodemon - JavaScript

Introduction

Nohup Nodemon is a powerful tool used by JavaScript developers to monitor and automatically restart Node.js applications. It enhances the development workflow by eliminating the need to manually restart the server after every code change. Nohup Nodemon runs the application in the background and detects any changes in the source files, automatically restarting the server, and applying the updated code.

Features

• Automatically restarts Node.js applications after file changes are detected.
• Supports monitoring changes in JavaScript, JSON, CSS, HTML, and other file types.
• Removes the need to manually restart the server during development.
• Provides verbose output and error logs for easy debugging.
• Simple and easy to use.

Installation

To install Nohup Nodemon, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have Node.js and NPM installed on your system.

2. Open a terminal or command prompt.

3. Run the following command:

   npm install -g nodemon
   

Usage

Once installed, Nohup Nodemon can be used by running the command nohup nodemon <your_script.js> in your terminal or command prompt.

Here's an example of how to run a Node.js application using Nohup Nodemon:

nohup nodemon app.js

The nohup command ensures that the process continues running even after the terminal or command prompt is closed.

You can also pass additional arguments to Nodemon, such as the --watch flag to specify specific directories or files to monitor:

nohup nodemon --watch src app.js

Conclusion

Nohup Nodemon simplifies the development process for JavaScript developers by automatically restarting the server whenever file changes are detected. This eliminates the need to manually restart the application each time a change is made, saving valuable time during development. Its easy installation and usage make it a popular choice among developers working with Node.js applications.
