Setting Up Development Environment

To set up your development environment, follow these steps:

1. Create .vscode Folder: Create a .vscode folder in the root of the project.

2. Create launch.json File: Inside the .vscode folder, create a launch.json file.

3. Configure Launch Settings: Add the following configuration to your launch.json file:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Run dev script with nodemon",
            "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/.bin/nodemon",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/index.js",
            "restart": true,
            "console": "integratedTerminal"
        }
    ]
}

This configuration allows you to run the development script using nodemon, which automatically restarts the server when changes are detected.

Running the Application

To run the application, simply execute the development script. Changes to your code will be automatically reflected as the server restarts.

npm run dev
