Debugging	In Nuxt 3, you can get started with debugging your application directly in the browser as well as in your IDE.

Sourcemaps

Sourcemaps are enabled for your server build by default, and for the client build in dev mode, but you can enable them more specifically in your configuration.

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // or sourcemap: true
  sourcemap: {
    server: true,
    client: true
  }
})

Debugging in Your IDE

It is possible to debug your Nuxt app in your IDE while you are developing it.

Example VS Code Debug Configuration

You may need to update the config below with a path to your web browser. For more information, visit the VS Code documentation about debug configuration.
