Node.js Exec

Run the current file or the code you selected with node.js.

Usage

To execute the current file or the selection press F8 or use the command Execute Node.js
To cancel a running process press F9

Configuration

Clear output before execution

{
  "miramac.node.clearOutput": true
}

Show start and end info

{
  "miramac.node.showInfo": true
}

Show stdout and stderr

{
  "miramac.node.showStdout": true,
  "miramac.node.showStderr": true
}

If miramac.node.legacyMode is true (default) the extention will not use new features and options. Because of some strange problems I can't reproduce, the extension remains in legacy mode. To use the following options simply set this option to false

{
  "miramac.node.legacyMode": false
}

The folloing options need to set the legacyMode off

Set environment variables for execution:

{
  "miramac.node.env": {
      "NODE_ENV": "production"
  }
}

Add arguments for execution:

{
  "miramac.node.args": ["--port", "1337"]
}

Add options for execution:

{
  "miramac.node.options": ["--require", "babel-register"]
}

Change the node binary for execution

{
  "miramac.node.nodeBin": "/path/to/some/bin/node-7.0"
}

Some code that is executed with each run

{
  "miramac.node.includeCode": "const DEBUG = true; const fs = require('fs'); "
}

How it works

The selected code or if nothing is selected, the active file, is written in a temporarily file (something like node_<random-sring>.tmp). You don't have to save the file for execution. This file will be executed by your installed version of node.js. Therefore node has to be in the PATH.

require('child_process').spawn('node', options,[tmpFile, args])

Any data from stdout or stderr will be printed to an OutputChannel. Unfortunately console colors won't work.
