fiveo
A tiny JavaScript library to add some sweetness to Node's core inspector module. Adds some key missing features:
- Adding the ability to start the inspector via the SIGNAL method using ANY PORT and not just 9229. Opens up the possible debug applications and workflows tremendously.
- STOPPING the inspector instance using the SIGUSR2 signal (will stop both sessions started with SIGUSR2 and the native SIGUSR1). It's likely that leavning the inspector listening (production environments...) is a bad idea.
Installation
$ npm install fiveo
Usage

simply needs to be required in your code.

Environment Variables
When running through Node.js, you can set a few environment variables that will change the behavior of the debug logging:
Name | Syntax | Purpose | Examples |
---|---|---|---|
INSPECT |
[hostname:port] | Declares which host:port you want the inspector to listen on. | 9230 or localhost:9230 |
Note: The default value for INSPECT is localhost:9229
