+### Debugging with VS Code
+
+This repo has configuration for debugging with VS Code's built-in Node Debugger.
+
+1. After running the build steps, start the app by running `npm run debug`.
+2. In VS Code, click on the Debugging icon in the Activity Bar to bring up the Debug view.
+3. In the Debug View, select the **'Node: Nodemon'** configuration, then press F5 or click the green play button. You should see all of your running node processes.
+4. Select the node process that's started with the `--inspect` flag.
+5. Debugger has now been attached. Enjoy!
+
+For more detailed instructions, please see this [VS Code recipe](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-recipes/tree/master/nodemon). You can also learn more about debugging using VS Code [here](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/debugging).
