This node module is based on node-webkit-agent from Camilo Aguilar and WebKit Development Tools. The front-end code is slightly modified to provide only remote "Console" feature with:
- multiple front-ends connections
- node-to-frontend logging
- auto re-attach support on node process restart
- programmatically define custom ports to avoid conflicts
The agent must be loaded inside the node process you want to control. If you pause runtime through breakpoints and debugger, the console will not work (use the inspector one).
The console from 0.3.3 supports ECMAScript 6 and 7 through babel.js project.
The console.dir doesn't work properly and logs string representation instead of navigable object.
var web_console = require('node-console');
var frontend_port = 9090;
var agent_port = 9999;
var internal_port = 3333;
var listen_address = '0.0.0.0';
web_console.start(frontend_port,agent_port,internal_port,listen_address);
[...]
web_console.stop(); (The MIT License)
