nodemon command is not recognized in terminal for node js server

You need to install it globally

npm install -g nodemon
# or if using yarn
yarn global add nodemon

And then it will be available on the path (I see now that you have tried this and it didn't work, your path may be messed up)

If you want to use the locally installed version, rather than installing globally then you can create a script in your package.json

"scripts": {
    "serve": "nodemon server.js"
  },

and then use

npm run serve

optionally if using yarn

# without adding serve in package.json
yarn run nodemon server.js
# with serve script in package.json
yarn run serve

npm will then look in your local node_modules folder before looking for the command in your global modules

安装

npm install -g nodemon

Monitor for any changes in your node.js application and automatically restart the server - perfect for development

nodemon is a tool that helps develop node.js based applications by automatically restarting the node application when file changes in the directory are detected.

nodemon does not require any additional changes to your code or method of development. nodemon is a replacement wrapper for node. To use nodemon, replace the word node on the command line when executing your script.

Monitoring multiple directories

By default nodemon monitors the current working directory. If you want to take control of that option, use the --watch option to add specific paths:

nodemon --watch app --watch libs app/server.js

Now nodemon will only restart if there are changes in the ./app or ./libs directory. By default nodemon will traverse sub-directories, so there's no need in explicitly including sub-directories.

Don't use unix globbing to pass multiple directories, e.g --watch ./lib/*, it won't work. You need a --watch flag per directory watched.

Specifying extension watch list

By default, nodemon looks for files with the .js, .mjs, .coffee, .litcoffee, and .json extensions. If you use the --exec option and monitor app.py nodemon will monitor files with the extension of .py. However, you can specify your own list with the -e (or --ext) switch like so:

nodemon -e js,pug

Now nodemon will restart on any changes to files in the directory (or subdirectories) with the extensions .js, .pug.

nodemon --watch src -e html,vue,js,scss,css build/build.js
