How can I debug Node.js

Question

I'm currently new to Node.js, as I had previous experience with PHP server before, I know that I can debug the server in PHPStorm that supports breakpoints and I can follow the process step by step. I'm wondering if there is a similar tool for Node.js to perform such kind of debugging. Thanks a lot.

I googled "node phpstorm debug" and found this. Hope that helps!

I'm a huge fan of the node-inspector for these purposes-- let's you use the Chrome dev tools for debugging Node applications.
