Support Remix Debug Mode

[tatemz]

Is it possible to support a --debug flag for integration with IDEs?

@frandiox do we have any way right now of passing additional flags to the remix cli?

[frandiox]

No, we don't. This flags only runs require('node:inspector').open() before starting the dev server so we could implement the same thing. However, I don't know how this would play with MiniOxygen 🤔 Works well since it's just Node.js

Edit: quick feat #869

Not sure about other IDEs but at least in VSCode you can run the debugger already:

With a configuration similar to the following:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [{
      "name": "Hydrogen (npm)",
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "runtimeExecutable": "npm",
      "runtimeArgs": ["run", "dev"], // same script name as in package.json
      "skipFiles": ["<node_internals>/**"]
  }]
}

Would that work for you?

The --debug flag in Remix is opening a Node inspector so that you can debug using Chrome DevTools but we don't support this right now.
