How do I run StrongLoop's Loopback with Forever so that the app is automatically restarted after ever change?
So far just running forever server/server.js doesn't seem to work...
Thanks. I have found that the best script is this:
"scripts": {
"start": "forever --verbose --uid \"myapp\" --watch --watchDirectory ./server server/server.js"
},
Each part means:
--verbose: Log all details (useful when developing new routes)
--uid \"myapp\": So that "myapp" will appear when you do a forever list
--watch: Watch for file changes
--watchDirectory ./server: The folder to watch for changes
server/server.js: The app entry point
Additionally I open it with like nohup npm start & so that the process will keep running in the background and the output will be appended to a nohup.out file.
