iron-node is a command-line debugger that runs Node.js scripts with Chrome Developer Tools attached, replacing the node command. It provides full JavaScript debugging, breakpoints, profiling, and memory leak detection across Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Use cases
- debug node.js scripts with chrome devtools
- set breakpoints in node.js code visually
- profile javascript execution and find memory leaks
- debug grunt gulp or mocha command line tasks
- step through node.js code with a gui debugger
When to choose
- you prefer Chrome DevTools UI over the built-in node inspector
- you want a zero-config drop-in replacement for the node command when debugging
- you need profiling and memory leak analysis for Node.js apps
When to avoid
- you only need occasional debugging - modern node has a built-in --inspect flag
- you need a debugger for non-JavaScript languages
- you require actively maintained tooling - the project has seen limited recent activity
