node-inspect

npm install --global node-inspect

For the old V8 debugger protocol, node has two options:

1. node --debug <file>: Start file with remote debugging enabled.
2. node debug <file>: Start an interactive CLI debugger for <file>.

But for the Chrome inspector protocol, there's only one: node --inspect <file>.

This project tries to provide the missing second option by re-implementing node debug against the new protocol.

Usage: node-inspect script.js
       node-inspect <host>:<port>
       node-inspect --port=<port>
