In summary :

You need to create new lauch.json like:

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Debug",
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/yourApp",
            "runtimeExecutable": "npm",
            "runtimeArgs": [
                "run-script",
                "debug"
            ],
            "port": 9229
        }
    ]
}

and add new script in your package.json like:

"scripts": {
    ...
    "debug": "node --nolazy --inspect-brk=9229 server.js"
  },
