Script in "Watching file changes with nodemon" doesn't work

[wenheqi]

Please correct me if I interpret the section "Watching file changes with nodemon" wrong.

What I found in this section is that after issue npm start, the project won't rebuild when index.js is modified, i.e. when I modified the greetings, it was not updated when I refresh the page. The script seems only to build the project once when the command is issued.

Following script works for me:

"start": "nodemon --exec \"npm run build && node dist/index.js\" -e js --ignore dist/"

"start": "nodemon ./src" + Nodemon configuration
