# Custom server with TypeScript + Nodemon example

The example shows how you can use [TypeScript](https://typescriptlang.com) on both the server and the client while using [Nodemon](https://nodemon.io/) to live reload the server code without affecting the Next.js universal code.

Server entry point is `server.ts` in development and `dist/server.js` in production.
The `dist` directory should be added to `.gitignore`.
