node.js - Restart node upon changing a file

Question

For someone who is coming from PHP background the process of killing node and starting it again after every code change, seems very tedious. Is there any flag when starting a script with node to automatically restart node when code change is saved?

Answer 1

A good option is Node-supervisor:

npm install supervisor -g

and after migrating to the root of your application use the following

supervisor app.js
