Debug Node in Chrome devtools

What is Node Debugger?
'Node Debugger' is a Chrome extension that allows developers to debug Node in chrome devtools. By saving configured debugging sessions, it automatically checks for their availability on startup. It helps streamline the debugging process in node 6.3+ processes started with the --inspect flag. Future updates intend to auto-reconnect the debugger when it goes offline.

Summary

Connect to v8 inspector debugging instances! This extension allows you to save configured debugging sessions and will automatically check them for availability on startup.

To quickly get started you can do the following:

  • Start a node 6.3+ process with the --inspect flag set (this will start a debugging session at localhost:9229)
  • Click on the extension icon in Chrome and see that the Default session is available.
  • Click on the Default session and a new Chrome window will load with the devtools connected to node.
  • Carry on making great apps!

Roadmap ahead:

  • Attempt to detect when the debugger goes offline (this happens frequently in development with Nodemon) and attempt to reconnect automatically
