Node.js Interactive Window (REPL) for Visual Studio Code using Node.js command line right in your favorite IDE. Simply press CTRL + SHIFT + P and launch "Node.js Interactive window (REPL)".
This is a preview and I would really love some feedback if something is not working as it should.
Features
Both "return" values and console.log is supported, just as in Node.js REPL since that is used behind the scenes.
Requirements
This extension requires Node.js v6+, but only tested with Node 7+
Known Issues
Note, this is a preview so please report any bugs
