you might use ndb which is tailored for node.js and also from GoogleChromeLabs.

install using

npm install -g ndb

Usage:

Use ndb instead of node command:

    ndb server.js
    # Alternatively, you can prepend `ndb`
    ndb node server.js

Prepend ndb in front of any other binary:

    ndb npm run unit
    ndb mocha
    ndb npx mocha

Launch ndb as a standalone application:

    # cd to your project folder (with a package.json)
    ndb .
    # In Sources panel > "NPM Scripts" sidebar, click the selected "Run" button

if you are using nodemon:

 ndb nodemon .
