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
  • Execute the specified file restarting the process when an imported file is changed (requires Node.js version 18.11+):
    node --watch {{path/to/file}}
  • Evaluate JavaScript code by passing it as an argument:
    node -e "{{code}}"
  • Evaluate and print the result, useful to print 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}}
