    Sublime Text Node.js Build System


Allows you to execute JavaScript code in a REPL environment directly from Sublime Text.

This build system gives you access to everything you would expect to have access to with any typical Node script/application. For more advanced applications that expect some sort of user/client interactions, this may not work well (or at all), but it's great for testing snippets of code for instant feedback.
Save the Node.sublime-build file to Sublime's Packages/User folder. In order to run ("build") some JavaScript, it must be saved as a file somewhere. Then select "Node" as the build system and press ⌘B to run the active tab in Node.
Example

function head(xs) {
  return xs[0]
}

function tail(xs) {
  return xs.length ? xs.slice(1) : []
}

function sum(ns) {
  var n = head(ns), ns = tail(ns)
  return ns.length ? n + sum(ns) : n
}

console.log(sum([1,2,3,4,5]))
