Debugging like a pro
Add a launch configuration to enable Node debugging.
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible Node.js debug attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
// For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
"name": "API",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/service/lib/hapi/index.js",
"env": {
"JWT_SECRET": "hapi land",
"FE_HOSTNAME": "https://localhost",
"MONGODB_CONFIG": "mongodb://localhost/mydb"
}
}
]
}
You can have more than one launch config and browser support is available.
Documentation with JSDoc
VSCode enables JSDoc all over the editor with intellisense, in version 1.10, type /** to add a JSDoc annotation.
/**
* Verifies authorizations
* @param {string} accessRequest - The ACL in context
* @param {string} configPre - The name of the prereq containing the config
* @param {boolean} denyUnauthorization - Returns 401 if unauthorized
*/
exports.checkAuthorizations = (accessRequest, configPre, denyUnauthorization) =>
(request, reply) => { ... }
Quick Actions
These work like code refactoring, just like Resharper and Visual Studio.
Debugger pane and console
Like Chrome Inspector, you get access to a REPL console, Variables, Watch, Call Stack, Breakpoints and some other nice things like auto display of a variable value.
