Brackets - NodeJS integration is an extension for Brackets editor - it provides Nodejs and Mocha integration for Brackets. It's tested and works on any platform supported by Brackets (Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux).
To make Brackets - NodeJS integration work you'll need nodejs, npm and mocha installed in your system:
- Windows: Nodejs and NPM for Windows
- Mac OS X: Nodejs and NPM for Mac
- GNU/Linux: Nodejs and NPM for Debian/Ubuntu
Extension can be configured by opening the NodeJS integration Panel and clicking the Open settings button.
Currently Brackets - NodeJS integration supports these features (this list may be incomplete as we add new features regularly):
- Run multiple nodejs processes inside editor with console output (actual limit is only 5 processes, because brackets connections limitation)
