Inspecting variables using node's built-in debugger?

Question

I am trying to use the node debugger. I am running node debug server to run my server. Then I have:

...
var Workspace = mongoose.model(\'Workspa         


        

Answer 1

Use repl command ( see third example in docs )

break in hotplate/node_modules/bd/lib/bd.js:133
132 
133   debugger;
134 
135   // Delete the ID and the version since there's no point,
debug> repl
Press Ctrl + C to leave debug repl
> Workspace
