Debugging Node.js using the Chrome DevTools

With Chrome 57+, the Node.js debugging feature is enabled by default. To start debugging, run your Node.js application [using Node 6.4+] with the --inspect flag.

Like so:

$ node --inspect <your_file>.js

Open the outputted URL or visit chrome://inspect/ to open dedicated DevTools for Node to start debugging 🙂
