Looking to dive into Nodeclipse and get up and running with debugging an AngularJS application like the angular-phonecat
example from Eclipse.
Specifically, I want to
- utilize a Debug on Server launcher to kick off a server with my app and launch a web browser (Firefox or Chromium).
- set breakpoints in JavaScript files within Eclipse.
- navigate through the browser and have the debugger in Eclipse halt at the breakpoints.
(This functionality works seamlessly in NetBeans.)
The Nodeclipse documentation doesn't offer much guidance on how to start this process or if it's even achievable.
I've successfully debugged a Node.js project using the Hello World template, but I'm unsure how to debug anything within a web browser.
Do I need to employ a Remote Javascript debug launcher for that? If so, how do I go about doing so?
Lastly, I'm unclear on how to actually run an AngularJS application in Nodeclipse. It seems like the AngularJS Eclipse plugin only focuses on editing features rather than handling the running and debugging aspects. Should I convert the Angular project into a Node.js application? If yes, how is that done?
