Debugging Node.js using Chrome Developer Tools story javascript,node,debugging chalarangelo blog_images/nodejs-chrome-debugging.jpg Did you know you can use Chrome Developer Tools to debug your Node.js code? Find out how in this short guide.

Node.js can be debugged using Chrome Developer Tools since v6.3.0. Here's a quick guide on how to do this:

  1. Download and install Node.js v6.3.0 or newer, if you don't already have it installed on your machine.
  2. Run node with the --inspect-brk flag (e.g. node --inspect-brk index.js).
  3. Open about:inspect in a new tab in Chrome. You should see something like the screenshot below.
  4. Click Open dedicated DevTools for Node to open a new window connected to your Node.js instance.
  5. Use the Developer Tools to debug your Node.js application!
