Scripts

• npm run dev: Runs and automatically restarts the server whenever changes are made.
  • Uses nodemon, a tool that watches for file changes in the current directory and subdirectories.
  • When changes are detected, it automatically restarts the specified JavaScript file using the Node.js runtime.
  • This provides a more streamlined development workflow, as you can focus on coding without needing to manually restart the application every time you make changes.
  • Used during development.
• npm run build: Cleans the ./build directory and builds the app into it.
• npm run preview: Runs the server once.
  • Directly executes the specified JavaScript file using the Node.js runtime. It's a one-time execution, and if you make changes to the code, you need to manually stop and restart the command each time to see the changes take effect.
  • Used in "production".
