nodemon watch directory for changes

I know how to do nodemon server.js but what if I want to do nodemon ./src

I want restart node on any changes in the directory of src.

When I do above and it say cannot find module babelprac\src

I am also doing in another command window : npm run scripts:watch

The script is

"scripts" : {
  "scripts" : "babel src --source-maps-inline --out-dir dist",
  "scripts:watch" : "babel src --watch --source-map-inline --out-dir dist"
},

That runs the watch but I want to run the script in src or dist to see the console.logs

I aslo tried nodemon --watch ./src. It says it can't find index.js.

I am on windows 7

My working directory is babelprac

Solution

  • Nodemon expects it just as:

    nodemon --watch src server.js

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