This module is designed to restart Node.js app in development mode, e.g. after compilation with

Babel/TypeScript is complete.

## How to Install

```bash

$ npm install restart --save-dev

```

## How to Use

#### `build/app.js`

```js

const express = require('express');

const app = express();

let count = 0;

app.get('/', (req, res) => {

  res.send(`count: ${++count}`);

});

module.exports = app.listen(8080);

```

#### `server.js`

```js

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {

  // In a production environment launch the Node.js app directly.

  require('./build/app');

} else {

  // Otherwise, start building the app from source and

  // restart it upon new changes in the /build folder.

  const restart = require('restart');

  const build = require('./scripts/build');

  build({

    watch: true,

    onComplete: () => {

      restart({ entry: './build/app' });

    },

  });

}

```

```bash

$ node ./server

```
