Nodify

Nodify is a web-based IDE for creating and testing JavaScript programs on NodeJS. You can already edit and save your programming projects, using the on-screen Bespin editor that provides syntax highlighting and natural keyboard shortcuts. Executing your project is performed by clicking 'Run'. After the execution is finished, the console will be displayed containing the program's output. If the program is a server or enters an infinite loop, it will be killed after 5 minutes, but you can terminate its execution by clicking 'Stop'. You may also start a debugging session by clicking 'Debug', though do note that it requires using Google Chrome as your browser. Currently projects are single-file, but soon you will be able to have multiple files per project. You may create multiple projects, rename or delete them using the links on top of the screen. You don't need to create an account to use Nodify, a unique user account is created and stored in a cookie in your browser. Currently, if you browse the service from a different browser you will create a new user account.

Installation

You may install nodify either using git or npm.

Via npm:

$ npm install nodify

The command "nodify" can then be used to launch the IDE. The only requirements are node and npm.

Via git:

$ git clone http://github.com/past/nodify.git

Then you can run nodify like this:

$ bin/nodify

You must have already downladed and installed node, connect, nStore and node-inspector.

Debugging

In order to debug your node programs you need to use Google Chrome. This is a requirement from node-inspector that provides the debugging functionality. Also, for a better user experience you should enable popups from 127.0.0.1 in the browser's preferences. Furthermore, node itself must be compiled with the --debug configuration option.
