[FEATURE] - use ts-node instead build & start

[gimox]

what about use ts-node instead npm run build && npm run start on "serve" script?
It's more efficient and speedy.

[gimox]

this is my serve script:

"serve": "nodemon --exec ts-node -- ./src/server.ts",

you should also check the ts-node-dev for live reload feature, it works grate for me, it's insanely fast, compiles only changed files, and uses unchanged from cache, just like webpack do

my serve script example:
"serve": "ts-node-dev --fast --respawn ./src/server.ts"

nodemon use ts-node . This is a standard, well tested and full working solution.
ts-node-dev is something new.. it's not related to ts-node.

[myflowpl]

ok, i'll try nodemon with ts-node to see how it compares to ts-node-dev

ts-node-dev is also using ts-node inside, just adds the watch functionality, so far works good, so may be someone else, also wants to try it out.

[gimox]

I try it and my project crash with ts-node-dev. Work fine with ts-node and nodemon and tsc.
It ‘s not good

Hey guys !
serve command already use nodemon and ts-node.
I think we can close the issue

[gimox]

@thomrick this command is not for the cli but for the app generated

[thomrick]

upgrade to 4.0.0 or 5.0.0 depends on the Nestjs major version you want to use.
Use the typescript-starter repo with ts-node
build and serve will next features
