ts-nodemon

Compiles your TypeScript app and restarts when files are modified. Works with typescript@>=2.7.

How It Works

ts-nodemon runs TypeScript compiler in watch mode, and restarts Node.JS when TypeScript files are modified.

TypeScript compiler options are specified using tsconfig.json file.
