Nodemon delay

Nodemon is awesome for development but one thing that comes up from time to time is that as I'm typing the serer will restart over and over.

I was wondering if there wasn't some kind of debouncing available. A quick check of the docs and I was sorted.

As a command:

nodemon --delay 2.5 app.js

In a config file called nodemon.json:

{
    "delay": "2500"
}

Both the above will delay the restart for 2.5 seconds before restarting. Be aware that the value set in the file is in milliseconds.
