Debug Node.js code with Chrome Developer Tools.

Debug Node.js code with Chrome Developer Tools on Linux, Windows and OS X.

I hated attaching processes, watching files, restart processes and to debug Node.js code. For this reason I wrote this software to make those things easier. With ironNode you have the full power of JavaScript debugging within Chrome Developer Tools.

Installation

npm install iron-node -g;

Usage

The usage is the same as node. Use iron-node instead of node.
Keep in mind to place the keyword debugger; to a place where you want to stop. Run a debug session with the given JavaScript file.

iron-node PATH_TO_NODE_JS_FILE [--customparm1=foo --customparm2=bar];

Demo

Supports piped data now
