Testing

Local debugging

Run the web service locally using the provided package scripts. Run npm run-script debug and this spins up a local web server. You can use Visual Studio code to attach to this process. nodemon and tsc --watch compiles and restarts your service as you are making changes to the source code automatically in debug mode.
