Node.js Tools for Visual Studio (NTVS) is a Microsoft-maintained extension that adds Node.js development support to Visual Studio. It provides the Node.js development workload for Visual Studio 2017 and 2019, including editing, IntelliSense, and debugging for JavaScript and Node.js projects.

Use cases

  • develop node.js apps inside visual studio
  • debug node.js code in visual studio
  • add node.js development workload to visual studio 2019
  • intellisense for javascript in visual studio
  • manage npm packages from visual studio

When to choose

  • you are a Windows developer already using Visual Studio
  • you want integrated Node.js debugging and tooling in a full IDE
  • you maintain legacy Visual Studio 2017/2019 Node.js projects

When to avoid

  • you use VS Code, which has first-class Node.js support
  • you develop on macOS or Linux
  • you need support for Visual Studio 2015 or earlier
