Eleventy: Possible to use VS Code debugger?

[zellwk]

What I want to do is console.log variables when I create shortcodes. Template fills up the console too much, so it's hard to debug.

Wondering whether it's possible to debug with VS code built in debugger. If yes, what's the configuration? If no, is there a better way to run a console.log? (Ideally, I'd want breakpoints).

Thanks so much!

Oh—maybe! I haven’t used VS Code so I’m not sure. Anyone else?

(You may already be aware of this but don’t forget the --quiet command-line option to hide some of the default console output)

To debug 11ty using Visual Studio Code, you could use the following launch configuration:

{
    "type": "node",
    "request": "launch",
    "name": "Launch 11ty",
    "program": "${workspaceFolder}\\node_modules\\@11ty\\eleventy\\cmd.js",
    "args": [
        // Just an example argument
        // "--output=C:\\Temp"
    ],
}

Thanks @pamtbaau!
