When inside a JS file, go to
Build > Set Build Commands, there should be a section titleExecute commands. To usenodeto execute your files, put:node "%f"in the “Execute” command textbox.When you change this, any
.jsfiles you are editing will run node in the virtual terminal when you hitF5.If you want to set up an entire project to run the server whenever you’re working somewhere within a given directory structure, you’ll have to mess with project-level configuration. (something I don’t usually bother with) My solution here just gives you a quick way to execute a single JS file without using an external terminal.
UPDATE:
node "%f"seems to be legacy, butnodejs "%f"works
