CRUD with ExpressJS and MongoDB (Typescript)
Nodemon is a dependency that monitors your project files for changes and automatically restarts the server once there is a change to any file being watched by nodemon. Think of nodemon as node monitor ;). Note: You shouldn't use nodemon on a production server, except you're part of the developers that attempt fix bug in production, lol.

How 'npm create vue@latest' works
But what is a symbolic link exactly? It comes from programming and I often liken symbolic links to basic redirects but with greater stability. However, not every package needs a place in .bin.

How does npm determine whether a package is executable or not? It's simple: by using the bin property in your package.json to specify the executable path. If your package is executable, you can set it accordingly. Let's take a look at prettier's package.json file
