Node.js (V8) --inspector Manager

Streamlined JavaScript V8 (Node.js/Deno) Development

(works with ANY Chromium browsers: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Arc, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, Epic, and more...)

Why Use NiM?

Instead of going through several alternate steps, you can simply type about: on your keyboard and then the host/port to quickly attach the debugger as shown below about: is > than about::inspect...

NiM intelligently manages the DevTools window/tab lifecycle and the V8 debugger process, offering capabilities beyond what's typically possible.

Besides being the OG solution to the problem of copy/paste DevTools URL's or continue opening/closing tabs/windows, NiM continues to offer many additional benefits outside of that original use case.

NiM Provides Developers with LOTS of Options...

And Many Features

🔧 Manage and Monitor Debugging Sessions
- Control both local and remote debugging sessions with ease.
🛠️ Flexible DevTools Control
- Choose between manual or automatic control of the DevTools interface.
- Open DevTools in a new tab or window as needed.
- Set DevTools to be focused or inactive upon start.
⚙️ Customization and Performance
- Adjust the duration between V8 Inspector probes to suit your needs.
- Receive helpful notifications from third-party services, such as your CI/CD pipeline.
🔄 Version Management
- Quickly hot-swap DevTools versions within the same browser to avoid upstream bugs in Chrome/Edge DevTools.
📂 Enhanced Organization
- Utilize DevTools tab grouping for better organization and separation of concerns.
🔍 Debugging Efficiency
- Resume debugging at the first breakpoint when using --inspect-brk.
- Capture debugging statistics to analyze and optimize your debugging process.

PLEASE NOTE: Installing this does require the sharing of your email address with me (and only me). You are given other notice of this, but it's become and remains such an issue that I feel the need to make it OVER-abundantly clear. If you take issue with sharing your email address with me (mine is 667@june07.com by the way) please, I implore you to clone/fork a copy yourself and change what you don't like about the code and/or use alternate solutions (none of which are as good as NiM, but call me biased). Further feel free to contact me directly and have a chat. Unlike the behemoths like Facebook, Google, Amazon that you probably (and without hesitation) share your email address with, I actually care about the concerns of the actual people who choose to use the code I wrote (~99%) and am responsible for.

Thank You!

❤️❤️❤️
