I am working on a nodejs project. I am thinking, is it possible to debug nodejs code like the way debug JavaScript in browser. I mean is there any tool or plugin available to debug nodejs.

^You can use node-inspector for debugging.

1) Start your node process in debug mode, "node --debug-brk=5858 app.js"

2) Start node-inspector process with, "nohup node-inspector &"

3) In your browser, go to: http://127.0.0.1:9001/debug?port=5858 and start debugging.
