<p>The <code>inspector</code> module provides an API for interacting with the V8 inspector.</p>
|
|
<p>It can be accessed using:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-js">const inspector = require('inspector');
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h2><code>inspector.close()</code><span><a class="mark" href="#inspector_inspector_close" id="inspector_inspector_close">#</a></span></h2>
|
|
<p>Deactivate the inspector. Blocks until there are no active connections.</p>
|
|
<h2><code>inspector.console</code><span><a class="mark" href="#inspector_inspector_console" id="inspector_inspector_console">#</a></span></h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object" class="type"><Object></a> An object to send messages to the remote inspector console.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-js">require('inspector').console.log('a message');
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>The inspector console does not have API parity with Node.js
|
|
console.</p>
|
|
<h2><code>inspector.open([port[, host[, wait]]])</code><span><a class="mark" href="#inspector_inspector_open_port_host_wait" id="inspector_inspector_open_port_host_wait">#</a></span></h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>port</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type"><number></a> Port to listen on for inspector connections. Optional.
|
|
<strong>Default:</strong> what was specified on the CLI.</li>
|

<li><code>host</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#String_type" class="type"><string></a> Host to listen on for inspector connections. Optional.

|
|
<strong>Default:</strong> <code>false</code>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Activate inspector on host and port. Equivalent to <code>node --inspect=[[host:]port]</code>, but can be done programmatically after node has
|
|
started.</p>
|
|
<p>If wait is <code>true</code>, will block until a client has connected to the inspect port
|
|
and flow control has been passed to the debugger client.</p>
|
|
<p>See the <a href="cli.html#inspector_security">security warning</a> regarding the <code>host</code>
|
|
parameter usage.</p>

<p>The latest version of the V8 inspector protocol is published on the
|
|
<a href="https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/v8/">Chrome DevTools Protocol Viewer</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Node.js inspector supports all the Chrome DevTools Protocol domains declared
|
|
by V8. Chrome DevTools Protocol domain provides an interface for interacting
|
|
with one of the runtime agents used to inspect the application state and listen
|
|
to the run-time events.</p>
|
|
<h2>Example usage<span><a class="mark" href="#inspector_example_usage" id="inspector_example_usage">#</a></span></h2>
|
|
<p>Apart from the debugger, various V8 Profilers are available through the DevTools
|
|
protocol.</p>
|
|
<h3>CPU Profiler<span><a class="mark" href="#inspector_cpu_profiler" id="inspector_cpu_profiler">#</a></span></h3>
|
|
<p>Here's an example showing how to use the <a href="https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/v8/Profiler">CPU Profiler</a>:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-js">const inspector = require('inspector');
|
|
const fs = require('fs');
|
|
const session = new inspector.Session();
|
|
session.connect();

<pre><code class="language-js">const inspector = require('inspector');
|

const fs = require('fs');
|

const session = new inspector.Session();
|
|
