javascript - How can I edit on my server files without restarting nodejs when i want to see the changes?

Question

I'm trying to setup my own nodejs server, but I'm having a problem. I can't figure out how to see changes to my application without restarting it. Is there a way to edit the application and see changes live with node.js?

Answer 1

Nodules is a module loader for Node that handles auto-reloading of modules without restarting the server (since that is what you were asking about):

Nodules does intelligent dependency tracking so the appropriate module factories are re-executed to preserve correct references when modules are reloaded without requiring a full restart.
