I have edited my package.json to customize the "start" script so it adds the --debug flag to node:
"scripts": {
"start": "node --debug server.js"
}
Is there a way of adding new scripts for example a debug script that would do what my customized "start" is doing right now?
I'm looking to be able to execute:
npm debug
In your package.json define the script
"scripts": {
"debug": "node --debug server.js"
}
And then you can use npm's run-script
npm run-script debug
or the shorter version
npm run debug
From the nodejs docs:
The legacy debugger has been deprecated as of Node 7.7.0. Please use --inspect and Inspector instead.
So starting from Node 7.7.0v use --inspect
