Description Christian Lenz 2016-03-18 13:10:45 UTC 
With xdebug you can debug applications, which are not on your local machine, so simply called remote debugging. This feature is in java also available, I think, but this feature is missing for nodejs applications. This is a must have, only my opinion to have remote debugging for nodejs applications.


Regards

Chris

The feature is already there.
Go to main menu Debug -> Attach Debugger... and then select "Node.js Server" from the upper combo box. Fill in Host and Port and you're done. Optionally you can specify which local files correspond to the server path.
Hope it works fine for you.

Cool didn't notice that. Had to have a look at the attach debugger section. Will test it soon. Thx :)
