Nodemon: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Nodemon is a utility tool for Node.js applications that automatically restarts the server when file changes are detected. It is commonly used during the development phase to streamline the development process by eliminating the need to manually stop and restart the server after every code change. Nodemon helps developers save time and focus on writing code without interruptions.
Compared to manually restarting the server or using other tools like PM2, Nodemon offers a lightweight and easy-to-use solution specifically tailored for development environments. Its simplicity and efficiency make it a popular choice among Node.js developers.
