Reload JS on server runtime?

[Division]

Is there a way letting the running server reloading my javascript files?

npm run watch

always rebuilds index.js on changes but the server doesn't auto-re-load this file.
Is there a way to enable an event with maybe params?

You can use a process manager for that (pm2):

npm i -g pm2 # install pm2 

cd /your/ragemp/server-files

pm2 start server.exe --watch # starts the server.exe in watch mode. it will restart on any file changes inside the server-files folder
  
pm2 stop server --watch # its important to stop it with the --watch flag otherwise it will still restart.

pm2 logs server # will show you the logs

If you're in development environment just use nodemon

$ nodemon --watch packages --watch client_packages --exec \"./server.exe\"

here is an updated variant from @n0minal which works as a 1liner

 

`nodemon --watch packages --watch client_packages --exec ragemp-server.exe -e *`

 

-e * is required since ndoemon not watches HTML files
