Wirebird

HTTP requests debugger for Node.js. Use Wirebird to inspect requests your Node.js application makes.

It's very similar to Chrome DevTools, but for Node.js.

Installation

In order to sniff outgoing HTTP traffic from your Node.js application, you have to install wirebird-client and attach it to the inspected process.

In order to view the requests you need to install wirebird globally and run it.

Install Wirebird globally

npm i -g wirebird

Add wirebird-client to your project

npm i -D wirebird-client

Now it's time to attach wirebird-client. For example, if your project used to be run by the following command:

npm run dev

, now you need to replace it with:

npx wbenv ui npm run dev

Usage

To start Wirebird, run:

wirebird

You can change the default port:

wirebird --port 3000
# or:
wirebird -p 3000

Also if you dont need to start browser automatically, you can disable it:

wirebird --headless
# or:
wirebird -H
