VS Code - debug with npm run

In this short article, we would like to show you how .vscode/launch.json file should be configured to let us debug a project with VS Code.

Note: the article shows example configuration for a project that we run in terminal using npm run my_script_name command.

Example .vscode/launch.json config file:

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "command": "npm run develop",
            "name": "My Backend",
            "request": "launch",
            "type": "node-terminal"
        }
    ]
}
