Question

is there anything like nodemon that works on .ejs file changes?

nodemon will detect changes in .js or .coffee files and restart your node app. But it won’t detect changes to view files. I’ve emailed author, but they are unresponsive.

Answer 1

You can use supervisor. https://github.com/isaacs/node-supervisor or npm install supervisor -g

If you need to watch certain files, you just update the -e argument. So you would run something similar to

supervisor -e 'js|ejs|node|coffee' app.js
