Node Debug

27 Nov 2009 | By Alex Young | Tags nodejs

I like Node a lot, so I was looking around Ryan Dahl’s repositories and noticed node_debug. Node Debug is a browser-based console and object explorer that gives you a REPL for a node app.

To use it, download the repository and add the following code to one of your projects:

var debug = require("debug.js");
debug.listen(8080);

Then run it with node.

If you can’t be bothered, it looks like this:

Pretty useful!

If you’re working on any Node-based projects, let me know in the comments and I’ll pick the ones I have time to review for an upcoming post.
