DeNode

DeNode is short for Debug Node, it's a tiny wrapper around Electron that lets you debug your Node apps using Chrome Dev Tools 🎉

Installation

npm install -g denode

Usage

denode
denode .
denode ./index.js
denode `which browserify` -r chalk main.js

To reload the app, simply press CTRL + R on Linux/Windows and CMD + R on Mac OSX.

Advanced Usage

DeNode tries to load options from the local package.json file, you can suppress this behavior by doing --ignore-local. Here are the magic fields it understands

{
  "name": "my-cool-app",
  "electronMain": "./electron.js",
  "electronOptions": {
    // All of BrowserWindow options are accepted here
  },
  "denodeOptions": [
    "DENODE_INSECURE" // Ignore certificate errors
  ]
}

The electronOptions field accepts all of BrowserWindow options, if electronMain is present, it is used instead of main.
