nodemon - restart on changes to json files
node.js
Solution
Unfortunately the extensions that it monitors seem to be hardcoded in the script:
https://github.com/remy/nodemon/blob/master/nodemon.js#L334
`program.ext = '.coffee|.js';`
You could hack it to make it work for json as well:
`git clone https://github.com/remy/nodemon.git` `cd nodemon`
Modify that line in `nodemon.js` to `program.ext = '.coffee|.js|.json';`
`npm install -g .` (it should use the cloned git folder instead of the npm registry)
Or you could use my script, although it's less stable than nodemon.
Problem
I'm using 'nodemon' to restart node on file changes. However it doesn't seem to trigger when json files have changed. Anyone know if there is a way to set this up? Also, is there a programmatic way to restart from within the running app itself? I suppose running it with 'forever' and throwing an error would do it. Any pointers much appreciated
