Debugging JavaScript

Eventually in a project's lifecycle, the need to debug JavaScript runtime issues can arise. VS Code has a nice built-in debugger which can be used to debug JavaScript. The approach you will take to debug JavaScript with a debugger will depend on the type of JavaScript you want to debug. There are two main types of JavaScript:
- server-side JavaScript
- This is essentially
node.jscode and does not run in the browser.
- This is essentially
- client-side JavasScript
- This is any JavaScript that is running in the browser.
You can debug 'node.js` code using the VS Code debugger. Have a look at this example for more information.
Developing in the cloud requires running VS Code from a Docker container, hence, using the VS Code debugger to debug client-side JavaScript is not currently possible without impratical (VNC) or untested methods such as ngrok.
You can however use the chrome tools debugger.
