#Brackets Node.JS Debugger

Brackets-node-debugger is an extension for the Brackets editor.

It's an early stage step-by-step debugger for Node.js applications.

Install it

Use the built-in Brackets Extension Manager to install Node.JS Debugger or clone this repository into your Extension folder

You need to restart (not just reload) Brackets after the installation!

Start your script with node --debug-brk yor-script.js or node --debug your-script.js

Go into Brackets and click on Debug -> Node.js Debugger or use Ctrl-Shift-I

Click on the red icon at the top left corner to activate the debugger and connect it to your script.

alt

Use the Buttons to Step over, Step in, Step out or to continue the script execution.

alt

Click on a line number to set/remove a Breakpoint and use the console to get an variable for the current scope.

alt

Use the arrow keys to browse through the history.

Open the preferences file (brackets.json) and edit/add the entry. All options use the brackets-node-debugger.-prefix

Option	Default	Description
debugger-port	5858	Port the V8 Debugger is running on
debugger-host	localhost	Host the V8 Debugger is running on
showChangelogOnUpdate	true	Show Changelog Dialog when you update the Extension
autoConnectOnToggle	false	Connect to the debugger as soon as you open the Node.js Debugger Panel
autoConnect	false	Connect always to the debugger as soon as available, powerful if your node process restarts on file changes
removeBreakpointsOnDisconnect	false	Remove all Breakpoints when Debugger disconnects
lookupDepth	4	Defines how deep the lookup max goes if you evaluate something

There are still a lot of featuers missing and probably a few bugs as well, so feel free to contribute in any way!

Send a pull request, open an issue if you found a bug or if you have an idea to make this tool even better...
