nodemon is a utility that automatically restarts your Node.js application when file changes in the directory are detected. Ideal for development, it eliminates the need to manually restart the server after each modification, saving valuable time. Installation is simple through npm, and configuration options allow you to customize which files to watch and trigger restarts. Nodemon streamlines the development workflow significantly. It supports various commands so you can debug your application with minimal effort.
Nodemon releases were most frequent between 2011 and 2018, peaking in January 2014 with 13 versions. Release frequency significantly decreased after 2018, with many months having no releases. There were no releases in August 2025, continuing a trend of infrequent updates in recent years.
Nodemon downloads show strong growth from February 2024 to August 2025. Downloads steadily increased throughout 2024, peaking in November then stabilizing. 2025 saw continued growth, reaching a high in July. August 2025 downloads are lower, likely due to incomplete data for the month.
