expressjsHow can I set up auto reloading in Express.js?

Auto reloading in Express.js can be set up using the Nodemon package. Nodemon will watch for changes in the code and automatically restart the server when changes are detected.

npm install --save-dev nodemon

Once Nodemon is installed, you can start the server using the following command:

nodemon server.js

This will start the server and watch for any changes in the code. When changes are detected, the server will automatically restart.

Code explanation

• npm install --save-dev nodemon: Installs the Nodemon package
• nodemon server.js: Starts the server and watches for changes in the code
