A JavaScript (and CoffeeScript) web console, useful for quick experimentation, debugging, presentations (for live coding) and workshops.
Also available as a native iOS app from the iTunes store
- Remote device debugging using "listen" command (more info)
- Resizable font (yep, biggest issue with Firebug in workshops)
- Autocomplete in WebKit desktop browsers
- shift + up/down for bigger console
- Save history (based on session)
- Add support for loading in a DOM (YQL - I thank you again)
- Permalink to individual executions
This requires that you install node.js. Once installed,
download this project (or clone it using git)
and inside the new jsconsole directory run:
npm install
This will install the dependancies (in particular 1.8.x version of connect.js).
Once installed, run (on port 80):
node server.js
Or to run on a specific port (like 8080):
node server.js 8080
Then check your own ip address of the machine it's running on (using ipconfig
for windows or ifconfig for mac and linux). Then on the mobile phone, just
visit that IP address and port you're running jsconsole on:
