I am new to web development (am a backend developer normally).

I am trying to set up a development environment to reflect my current workflow. I develop Java in IntelliJ Ultimate and I like how I can step through and debug.

The current front end development team start npm and then use Chrome developer tool window to debug.

Is there a way to connect WebStorm to this process so that I can set a break point in WebStorm instead of using the Chrome developer tool window?

I have installed the JetBrains extension in Chrome and I cannot find how to do this on their site.

Again, please excuse my ignorance as I am very new to front end development. but if I can get this functionality it would be fantastic.

Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated.
