Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 29,423 PointsA little late to the game here, but just to clarify for anyone else - in some of the earlier exercises, Andrew had us install nodemon via the terminal / console. nodemon always starts the file you've identified against "main" in the package.json file:
{
"name": "treehouse-flashcards",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "app.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"keywords": [],
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"express": "^4.15.2",
"pug": "^3.0.2"
}
}
So, as long as you're in the root directory, if you just enter nodemon
into the terminal / console, it should launch app.js (as we've specified above in the package.json file). Weeeeeeeeeeeeee
