How to debug ts files in VSCODE (Node)?

Question

typescript

Now this is the debugger config (it is not working for TS, as you can see for node):

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [

        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Launch Program",
            "skipFiles": [
                "<node_internals>/**"
            ],
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}\\build\\index.ts",
            "outFiles": ["${workspaceFolder}\\build\\index.js"]
        }
    ]
}

If I understand correctly, you cannot directly debug ts - you need to convert files to js.

How then in the workspace to set breakpoints in ts files

Konstantin , yes, there are plenty of manuals.
Starting from the official https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/typescript/type...

In general, there is one thing. It is necessary to compile first, then run the debug. The main thing is that "sourceMap": true should be.
And you can immediately debug using ts-node
