#Nodemon
Damn. Nodemon has 256 versions. Now I can't release any more because that number is too tasty.

Unless I immediately release another 256… or even an additional 768 versions 🤔

I couldn't replace nodemon with node --watch, as I've noticed it doesn't work consistently on linux. So going to stick with the more reliable nodemon.

@wesbos.com ^ you were playing with Node ESM HMR. Check this out!

i can install nodemon locally in a project, which is - absolutely cooked. thats just cooked. it WORKS but by god

We ended up having a conversation about that and various other things they were wondering about:

"does everyone just know that you have to save before nodemon will work? It says anytime the file changes."

"Whats the difference between dependencies and devdependencies?"

Lots of features in @nodejs.org in the last 2 years. Do you know you can now:

- run typescript without transpiling
- built-in SQLite module
- easy glob utility
- native file watcher (bye nodemon)
- load .env
- run script with node (faster than npm)

Let's dig in: www.telerik.com/blogs/nodejs...
Node.js Features You Didn’t Know About: Part 2
See some of the latest experimental features in Node.js: run TypeScript code directly in Node.js without transpiling, built-in SQLite support, glob file search.

a lotta yall still dont get it

nodemon users can tell nodemon to stop slurping arguments with multiple hyphens

i immediately purged it out of existence so can't check, but i think it was because nodemon was watching the entire filesystem for changes

"overriden by user" lol. lmao, even.
anyway i fixed it. npm's prefix was changed for some reason bc the spectre of nodist haunts my machine like someone living in my goddamn walls. problem probably resolved tho bc reinstalling nodemon did overwrite the copy i moved there manually, so its all Fine.

I've done full stack web development work for over 5 years now and I still always pronounce nodemon like pokemon

nodemon more like NO, DEMON
fighting with nodemon until i decide to just use tsx watch

Writing modern @nodejs.org is a joy 💚

- No @typescriptlang.org transpilation needed with erasable types.
- No `dotenv` needed, use --env-file
- No `nodemon` needed, use --watch
- No `chalk` needed, use styleText from node:utils
- No `glob` needed, use from node:fs/promises
- No CJS needed, pure ESM

Update on this,

got something with a super tiny API surface doing the most basic stuff.

- server bundles
- asset copying
- asset processing (for client side assets that you might wish to write and bundle)
- server executables ( don't have to do nodemon + esbuild, it'll handle the stdio)

Like yes and no; I realised that halfway into it that I had nodemon running the current version and it had rebooted when I switched branches, so I had to basically revert at the end of the night to keep it online.

I need my RPi for other purposes so I might just cloud lift everything tonight lol

AWESOME! Code folding makes it to @code in 0.10.10 + rulers, #nodemon support, improved JSDOC support! https://code.visualstudio.com/updates

And an instance of nodemon running nothing.

Curiously, with both `nodemon` and `onchange`, I’m getting (Node.js v24.7.0):

TypeError: fsevents·watch is not a function

What’s nice about these two shell commands is that they can be installed locally via npm.
fsevents.watch

I was today years old when I realized that “nodemon” is a word.

I am doing Glitch-style project reloading with nodemon for local development. It took some hacking but it's working pretty well right now for similar style work with the project. Dunno if I'd recommend it atm, but good enough.

maybe a hot take but "source of truth is actually the source code" isn't always true

case in point: nodemon
March 14, 2025 at 4:00 PM
for hot reloading changes, the govuk prototype kit uses nodemon on the back end, and browsersync on the front end. Is this an old way to do it? I get the impression vite can do both but I'm not entirely sure from the docs.

There's also another type of dependency: globally installed (like nodemon back in the day, vercel CLI, etc), or a derivative of it: runtime resolved and installed with `npx`.

It will never stop making me laugh when I hear "slurping" in programming contexts

March 30, 2025 at 2:06 AM
the nodemon worked fine on that port mere minutes ago soooooo
