Quick Example

/_config.asp

<%
 
app.set("credentials", {
    user: "...",
    password: "...",
    server: "localhost",
    database: "..."
});
 
%>

/_router.asp

<%
 
app.get("/", function(req, res, next) {
    res.render("/index.asp");
});
 
%>

/index.asp

<!--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="/aspjs/head.asp"-->
<!--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="/aspjs_modules/mssql/index.asp"-->
<%
 
var sql = require("mssql");
var conn = new sql.Connection(app.get("dbconfig"), function(err) {
    new sql.Request(conn).query("select getdate() as date", function(err, recordset) {
        res.json(recordset);
    });
});
    
%>
<!--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="/aspjs/foot.asp"-->

Debugging

### Console

The entire contents of the console is redirected to browser's console. A simple page with console.log("env", app.get("env")); results in:

### Stack Trace

You can capture stack traces of caught errors.

This can't be done with uncaught exceptions. On the other side, uncaught exceptions comes with location and line number.

### Inspection

You can inspect objects the same way you're used to.

console.log(myobject);
