8,440 Pointsform doesn't work
Hello, unfortunately I still get an error even after setting up the route that Andrew demonstrates at the end of the video, and I have no idea why my form won't re-render. Here are screenshots of what I have. Any ideas why this doesn't work?

15,959 PointsEvery time you are making a change to your backend code (node) you need to restart the server. You may want to look into the nodemon module which you can install with npm install nodemon -g I believe you can then start your app with nodemon app.js for example. nodemon will automatically restart your server every time you are saving a change in your backend code. Super efficient

8,440 PointsYep, that worked, thanks very much! I'm new to node, so I didn't know I had to do that. How often do I have to restart the node server? How do I know that I need to do that? (Maybe I should take the node course, ha!)
