How to debug an interactive Node.js app in VS Code?

Question

How do you run and debug an interactive Node.js app (one that prompts the user to enter STDIN on the console) in VS Code using a simple launch (F5). I have so far been running the app using node --inspect-brk . and then attaching VS Code. This works fine, but I'm just wondering if there's a faster way. If I look at the DEBUG CONSOLE pane, I can see the STDOUT, but I can't add input there.

Randy's comment was my answer with a link here. Thanks, Randy.

The solution is to configure the console value in your launch.json file. I added "console": "integratedTerminal" and now when I hit F5 I can jump to the integrated terminal (CTRL+<backtick>) and interact with my app.
