Is there a debug tool for Express in VSCode?

I'm logging messages to the console but I'd rather set breakpoints and step through the code.

CodePudding user response：

It does support it.

Though it says that it needs a launch config, although others have said it works for them without a launch config.

This is what was shown in the debug view:

It looks like there are instructions on creating a launch config here.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/debugging#_launch-configurations

It basically says to click the "Create launch config" link and then select Node.js from the list.

Since Express is a library that runs in node js, getting debug support in node js is also getting debug support for express.

Thanks me. Good job.
