Reloading code with custom server

[savil]

Hello there - i have a custom server I'm using with NextJS for the client-side frontend. I'm trying to have my code reload quickly during development. From #791, nodemon seems to be the solution for the server code. However, to use any changes in the client-side frontend in pages/, it seems I still need to do next build --- which is achingly slow for me.

Is there a configuration that achieves the combination of next dev for the frontend changes and nodemon for the custom-server changes?

You should be able to use something like this custom server example and instead of running node server.js like in the example package.json you can instead just do "dev": "nodemon server.js" and now you'll have code reloading for your server as well as for your frontend code.
