VSCode Debugging - Does Client Side debugger break points work?

just type debugger on the line you want the code to stop and then open you console and use your console tools.
Yeah I just wanted to use vscode to avoid having to write debugger in my code š small quality of life things I guess
i think the only way to get the debugger to trigger in vscode via clicking the red button is if you run the app via a vscode connected browser i.e you cant just open chrome/edge and navigate to localhost:3000 the 2 apps wouldnt know how to communicate there is a debugger in place
