You can use Chrome's DevTools to debug as below:

1. Start Node with --inspect option ... e.g. $node --inspect app.js. You should see a console printout something like

   Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/2558baab-1141-4db3-8d10-771586f876a6

2. Open Chrome browser and browse to chrome://inspect. Click on "Open dedicated DevTools for Node" link.
