locus
A Node.js debugging module that injects a REPL at runtime to inspect and manipulate program state.
What is locus?
Locus is a debugging module for Node.js that injects a REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) session at runtime, allowing developers to pause execution and interactively inspect or manipulate program state. It solves the problem of debugging complex applications by providing real-time access to variables, objects, and functions without requiring restarts or external tools.
Node.js developers and engineers who need to debug applications interactively, especially those working on complex codebases where traditional logging or breakpoint debugging is insufficient.
Developers choose Locus for its simplicity and direct runtime access, enabling quick, interactive debugging sessions without setup overhead or reliance on external debuggers, making it ideal for exploratory debugging and rapid issue diagnosis.
