Prevent restart of NestJS Server when making changes in certain directories

I am using the default nest start --watch command to run the application in watch mode.

The server restarts upon the change of any source file, which is as expected.

However, I need to ignore some directories or files from restarting the server when a change occurs.

Is there a way to achieve this in NestJS?

I was able to fix this by editing tsconfig.build.json file and add the folder to the exclude array. "exclude": [..., "your-folder"]

I was able to find a workaround. That is updated nodemon.json file to include the directories that I want to ignore from restart. Then to start the app I am just running nodemon command.

{
    "watch": ["src"],
    "ext": "ts",  
    "ignore": ["public"],
    "exec": "ts-node ./src/main"
  }

Hope this helps

You should edit these files:

  • tsconfig.json
  • tsconfig.build.json

Add the folder/s that you want to ignore in the "exclude" array:

"exclude": [..., "your-folder"]
