A JavaScript development environment for Emacs.
Indium connects to a browser tab or nodejs process and provides many features for JavaScript development, including:
- a REPL (with auto completion) & object inspection;
- an inspector, with history and navigation;
- a scratch buffer (
M-x indium-scratch); - JavaScript evaluation in JS buffers with
indium-interaction-mode; - a stepping Debugger, similar to
edebug, orcider.
Documentation
Installation instruction and other documentation can be found on readthedocs.
WARNING: Indium 2.0 now uses a client/server architecture, see installation instuctions.

Missing features
Indium is young, here's a list of missing/wanted features
- ~~Code evaluation using
C-x C-efrom project JS buffers~~ - ~~Adding breakpoints (to remove the need for
debuggerstatements)~~ - Network inspector (could get inspiration from restclient.el)
- DOM inspector
- ~~Start processes (chromium, node, grunt, gulp, etc.) from Emacs and attach a indium connection to it.~~
Backends
There is currently support for Chrom[e|ium] & nodejs. The firefox backend is in the TODO list.
