node

Server-side JavaScript platform (Node.js). More information: https://nodejs.org.

• Run a JavaScript file:

node {{path/to/file}}

• Start a REPL (interactive shell):

node

• Evaluate JavaScript by passing it in the command:

node -e "{{code}}"

• Evaluate and print result, useful to see node's dependencies versions:

node -p "{{process.versions}}"

• Activate inspector, pausing execution until a debugger is connected once source code is fully parsed:

node --no-lazy --inspect-brk {{path/to/file}}
