You can use --debug option:

node --debug=7000 app.js

You can use --inspect option for latest node >= v8

node --inspect=7000 app.js

This is really useful when having Grunt run multiple concurrent tasks and still have them all debug simultaneously. – Venning Apr 10 '14 at 19:14

The same syntax applies to nodemon as it passes the param through to node. – Synchro Sep 22 '15 at 09:40

For nodejs version >= v8 use this:

node --inspect=7000 --inspect-brk app.js

I believe this was the case at least as far back as node v6. (But not v4.) – David Knipe Dec 01 '17 at 08:26
