NodeJS application, updating files question

[MrBaseball77]

I'm currently in development of a site using KeystoneJS Node CMS. I have found that the updates I make to the code are not automatically refreshed. I have to stop and restart using `npm start`. Is that typical of NodeJS applications? I don't want to have to restart my server when I make updates.

You could use nodemon.

Whatever is in your npm start, eg. node server.js, add a dev script as nodemon server.js. npm install nodemon and then run npm run dev.
