Use it as an IDE #47

Hi,

Thanks for the great tool.

I am thinking that it would be great to use the debugger as a code editor. I could add folders to the workspace right clicking the sources tab but I couldn't make it catch the debugger. And the folders are not saved through executions.

I know this may be a load of work, but it would be a nice feature to have.

Cheers, Javi

Yes, see #27. We are blocked on Electron, but this feature would be pretty huge. Feel free to explore alternatives; it may be possible to shim the Node internals/requires to get certain things working.

Could this be done as an atom plugin?

Hmm not sure how that would work, but feel free to explore. :smile:

You can use devtool as IDE. Need add your project in Workspace , then map any local js file to identical remote file in file:// section. Refresh, and you can at the same time edit files and debug it. ;) Even, you can use any other language with sourceMap support, for example LiveScript. And programming, as like in native javascript.
