Tip. automate app restart with supervisor for lazy people.

sudo npm install supervisor -g

or "npm install supervisor -g" in workspace. With supervisor installed you no longer need to restart your app every time you reload the page. no more "node app.js everytime" With supervisor installed, every time you save project it will restart the server automatically and all you need to do is just refresh your page. Make sure after you install supervisor to run the app with it for the first time. "supervisor app.js" in the console and you are golden.

enjoy
