To find it, open the marketplace extension in VS Code (the little Tetris blocks icon on the left panel), type rest client into the search bar, then install the first result in the list (the author should be Huachao Mao). Try stepping through the code and stepping into methods. Step 1: Install REST Client in your VS Code. You can interact with it much like you would the debugger in your browser’s console. Visual Studio should now be in debug mode, paused on the breakpoint. Using Postman or your browser, send a request to the endpoint where you put the breakpoint (using the appropriate request method). Select “nodemon” from the config dropdown. (If you’re not sure where to start, try the first line of your route method.) If you haven’t already, go into your application code and set a breakpoint. Thunder Client is a lightweight Rest API Client Extension for Visual Studio Code for Testing APIs. I'm well and truly lost as to where to go. All I have is Postman returning 'Could not get any response'. You’re now able to run your Node app with the debugger. (POST) I was fully expecting my new break-point to be hit, but the break-point wasn't hit, and I got no output from my debugger console or terminal.

Make any adjustments needed – in this case I need to change the value of 'program': '$/server.js' Select “Nodemon” (or whatever you are using to run the Node server) Go to the Debug section of Visual Studio.Ĭlick the dropdown near the green “run” arrow and select “Add Configuration…” In this example, I’ll assume you are starting your server process with nodemon, but the steps are similar if you run the server some other way–just make sure you choose the correct config options. If requests to a given endpoint are not behaving as expected, this is a good way to start fixing the problem. You can use Visual Studio’s debugging features not just to debug a particular script, but to set breakpoints while your Node.js application is running.
