Nodemon installed but not working in Node.js - node.js

Question

I am using Node.js with express.js and I also installed Nodemon ( exist in node_modules folder) but it's not working.
Here is my package.json code. How can I solve this ?
// package.json
{
"name": "node-api",
"main": "server.js",
"dependencies": {
"express": "~4.0.0",
"mongoose": "~3.6.13",
"body-parser": "~1.0.1"
}
}

Answer 1

add nodemon as a dev dependency
npm i -D nodemon
Or install globally
npm i -g nodemon
But , in second method it will not show in package.json file
There is no need to use --save or -S as it is not used in your main code
EDIT: Jan 6, 2019
Use nodemon in script tag in package.json file. Like
"scripts" : {
...
"start" : "nodemon index.js"
}
Then use npm start in terminal

Answer 2

hit npm install --save nodemon -g in terminal or
install in your project via npm install --save nodemon
and it should display your package.json like
{
"name": "node-api",
"main": "server.js",
"dependencies": {
"express": "~4.0.0",
"mongoose": "~3.6.13",
"body-parser": "~1.0.1",
"nodemon": "^1.18.6"
}
}
and run nodemon server.js
check if nodemon is installed nodemon -v

Answer 3

This issue is very much common. It showed 'found 0 vulnerabilities' while installing but never showed in dev dependencies.
I tried restarting my text editor and run the command again
npm i --save-dev nodemon
it started working.
