This generator creates a Dockerfile and scripts (dockerTask.sh and dockerTask.ps1) that helps you build and run your project inside of a Docker container. The following project types are currently supported:

• .NET Core
• Node.js
• Go

]

Prerequisites:

• Node.js
• Yo generator

Install the Docker generator:

npm install -g generator-docker

Once yo docker and VS Code are installed, here's the few steps to debug your first app

• From the root of your project, where your server.js file exists, open a bash or powershell window

yo docker

• Answer the prompts, including your image name
• Open the file you wish to debug and set a breakpoint
• From VS Code, open the command palette (Mac: [⌘] + [P], Windows: [CTRL] + [P])
• Enter: task composeForDebug This will compose your containers using the dockerTask.sh script
• [F5] to start the node debugger within the container
• As we use nodemon -L --debug-brk, the debugger will break on the first line of your main file, so that you can debug the initialization of your app

• From the root of your project open a bash or powershell window

yo docker

• Answer the prompts, including your image name
• Open the file you wish to debug and set a breakpoint
• [F5] to start the .NET Core debugger within the container

See Contributing for guidelines

• Q: Are you building an abstraction layer over docker apis?
  • A: No. These are your scripts. We're simply providing a starting point that docker developers would write themselves. These scripts are based on customers we've been working with.
• Q: Are you taking feedback?
  • A: Of course. Please open an issue at yodockerissues or choose to contribute.
