Chrome browser supports great ways to debug, break points, watch and more the same way you do inspecting the browser javascript. 1. Fast Debugging:  User node --inspect  filename  (Devtool GUI) > node --inspect myserver.js This will give you a  link to a devtool session some thing looks like below  chrome-devtools://devtools/remote/serve_file/@60cd6e859b9f557d2312f5bf532f6aec5f284980/inspector.html?experiments=true&v8only=true&ws=127.0.0.1:9229/cd33 a427-37a4-4d96-b3f6-13ed4cbc870f Server is listening on port: 2403  you just copy this and paste in a new tab in chrome browser , It opens up the devtool. ( this is only debugging window. It doesn't start your application) Now you open a browser window or what ever ways you want to access your application , make the first call. You can use F8 (Run) , F10 (skip) , F11 (step into) keys on Windows to step through the code. Note: Some times the devtool session hangs in the memory s...
