Hey @umen, welcome to the forum! <3

The easiest way to debug Node.js applications is by using the --inspect flag via command-line, check the official guide: https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/debugging-getting-started/

You can debug the app on Chrome via chrome://inspect/ URL.

When using TypeScript, you may want to use this command: (you'd need to have ts-node installed as a dependency or devDependency)

node --inspect -r ts-node/register YourServer.ts

You can also debug directly through VS Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/nodejs/nodejs-debugging

Cheers! Good luck with your project!

Thanks for your quick answer ,
everything runs fine!
Thanks!
