Creating webserver using node can be hassle. Especially if you are just starting to use Node for web development.

Packages You need to install:

$ npm i nodemon or npm i nodemon --save-dev
$ npm i ws or npm i ws --save-dev

If you dont have package.json file

$ npm init

Add this line to package.json:

"scripts": {
  "dev": "nodemon server.js --ext js,html,css"
}

Now you can start your server with:

$ npm run dev

• Node.js® is a JavaScript runtime
• nodemon reload, automatically.
• ws: a Node.js WebSocket library
