How to use visual studio code to debug django

For VSCode (full disclosure, I’m one of the VSCode developers) try installing the Python extension to get started.

This documentation covers debugging Django. There should be a included debug configuration or you can add your own to the launch.json file:

{
    "name": "Django",
    "type": "python",
    "request": "launch",
    "stopOnEntry": false,
    "pythonPath": "${config.python.pythonPath}",
    "program": "${workspaceRoot}/manage.py",
    "args": [
        "runserver",
        "--no-color",
        "--noreload"
    ],
    "debugOptions": [
        "WaitOnAbnormalExit",
        "WaitOnNormalExit",
        "RedirectOutput",
        "DjangoDebugging"
    ]
}

The Python extension also provide many other features that you may find useful.
