In order to get your server to automatically update, you have to install the right package. For example the npm package nodemon.
npm install -g nodemon(or if yarn, use that command) will install the package globally so you can have your servers autorestart. Instead of the command "node app" you would then use the command "nodemon app".
Hope this answers your question!
