Javascript debugging

[ncpunt]

I decided to use Photino for a real (but small) project. So far everything is going smoothly. I have one question regarding JavaScript debugging. I know that F12 brings up the Edge Dev Tools where I can inspect variables and set breakpoints. That is great. But is it possible to debug JavaScript using the Visual Studio debugger? What would be needed to make that work?

Good question. We honestly don't know. If anyone in the community is familiar with this, we'd appreciate an assist.

I think normally VS does this by injecting a socket script (much like webpack HMR). You could build a small JS app outside of Photino, debug with VS and look for how it attaches. What does the VS debugger offer that the Chromium tools don't?

In terms of functionality Chromium tools offers everything I need. But we are debugging C# and JS code simultaneously so it would be nice if you can use one debugger with identical look and feel for both languages instead of two different debuggers.
