Devcontainer for Node in VS Code

.info.md

Node Devcontainer for VSCode

• This container definition has an anonymous volume that will mount to /workspace/node_modules.
  This drastically improves IO performance :)
• yarn install && touch node_modules/.gitkeep runs post container creation
  Commit the .gitkeep to source control, but leave the rest of node_modules ignored.
  This is because the folder needs to exist for it to be mountable
