How to prevent to step into node_modules

Question

How to prevent to step into node_modules/*.js files when debugging the typescript project files in vs code editor. When I start a debug process with a berakpoint on my types

Answer 1

Add the following to your launch.json...

"skipFiles": [
    "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/**/*.js"
]

From the sound of your question, you may also want to exclude the following...

"skipFiles": [
    "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/**/*.js",
    "<node_internals>/**/*.js"
]

Which then also excludes node internal files (net.js, events.js, etc) if you wish.
