You need to add this config to your package.json, just add a directory or a file pattern to nodemonConfig in your package.json to ignore them. So, whenever there are any changes in the directory or file pattern that is ignored nodemon won't restart your server.

Sample package.json

{
    "name": "nodemon",
    "homepage": "http://nodemon.io",
    "...": "... other standard package.json values",
    "nodemonConfig": {
                        "ignore": ["*.json"]
                     }
}

take a look at the documentation for more information.
