Debugging
Tips and Hints for Development
To start the back-end for development purposes, you can use
npm start
. This will trigger nodemon to watch out for changes. As soon as you save any changes to the code, the server will automatically be restarted.Additionally,
npm start
will open a port for inspection. This can for example be used for debugging with Visual Studio Code. Simply follow this steps:- 1.In VS Code, click
Debug
→Add Configuration
- 2.A new file
launch.json
should open, including a pre-configured array. - 3.Paste the following object in the
configurations
array:
{
"type": "node",
"request": "attach",
"name": "Debug Backend",
"restart": true,
"protocol": "inspector",
}
Now, you can start the debugger in VS Code, add breakpoints, inspect variables and so. Happy bug hunt!
