How do I debug typescript code in VS 2017?

Question

I have a ASP.NET Core project which uses TypeScript.

Is it possible to debug TypeScript code in Visual Studio?

Answer 1

I was attempting to convert the dotnetcore ReactRedux template to Typescript and could not get breakpoints to hit my typescript files.

I was able to determine that in your tsconfig.json file you need to have the options inlineSourceMap:true and inlineSources:true set.

Answer 2

Make sure you enable browser link in order to see TS break points being hit. The option is the blue arrow circle to the right of the browser selection drop-down in VS2017 and it seems to default to disabled.
