Debug setup for node/VSCode

README.md

Works for generally running node script and inside express etc callbacks.

Need to make sure that port in launch.json and --inspect-brk=X in package.json match.

launch.json

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Launch via NPM",
      "runtimeExecutable": "npm",
      "runtimeArgs": [
        "run-script",
        "debug",
      ],
      "port": 9229
    },
  ]
}

package.json

{
  "name": "debug",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "debug": "node --inspect-brk=9229 index.js"
  },
}
