I'm finally starting with Cloud Functions for my Flutter app but I'm very new to javascript, NodeJs and the whole procedure. I use Android Studio and I have installed NodeJs and locally the modules I need (mainly Stripe and http), but when I write code in the index.js I don't see any suggestion(apart for variables I declared) or text color for the code as it is for any .dart file, so I'm never able to see if I'm writing correct code or not. Is there something else I have to set up?
Many thanks.
I found out that the Node.js plugin by IntelliJ is only available for their Ultimate, their expensive enterprise version, not very clever choice in my opinion..,.. so goodbye IntelliJ ... welcome VisualStudio.. what a bummer dough..

I am new to visual studio code and Node.js and also install Node and npm to my computer.
My problem is VS code does not suggest any node syantax.
I watch youtube tutorials to learn node and in the video, instructors VS code suggest node js syntax.
Based on: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/intellisense it should have intellisense come right out of the box within VS code. I would recommend uninstalling and reinstalling VS code.
Some other gotcha's or things which may help:
Intellisense for javascript only works within files that are labeled with the .js extension
The hotkey Ctrl+Shift+brings up a terminal which contains aProblems` in there you can see the problems of the Workspace which may show some additional information regarding what is failing.
I have read a question/answer which states Flutter Web is a fork of Flutter and so one Android Studio (or VScode) project can't be built to handle both.
I'm not an expert on either (obviously) but I don't understand why the fact the libraries are forked implicitly precludes one from using the same source code for the different destinations.
Has anyone done so? And, if so, is there a skeletal project anyone would care to share?
I have an old node.js project I wanted to use for trying out VSCode. I run it usually by running "coffee app.coffee" from the command line. I've configured my launch.json file, but VSCode runs "node app.coffee" instead. How can I tell it to use coffee instead of node?
Cheers

The only configuration types supported at the moment appear to be node and mono. I understand that typescript support was included in one of the previews and will be returning when stable. No idea about a potential CoffeeScript timeline but I hope it's mapped, I really do.
I have an Node.js app written by typescript. I have VisualStudio 2013 and Node.js tools for Visual Studio, so I can debug compiled .js files in node.js runtime.
I can debug typescript files for browser html application.
How can I debug typescript files for node.js environment?
It is trivial to debug nodejs javascript applications using webstorm : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bKsDoFj83o I would suggest doing the same in typescript case i.e. debug your js.
I tried to do this a while ago and found it quite frustrating, I don't think it's possible to use the Visual Studio debugger for TypeScript with Node applications at the moment. You're also limited to using Internet Explorer for debugging and most developers seem to use Chrome these days.
That said Node and TypeScript debugging is possible, there's a link here. The process is a little funky but basarat is on the right track - WebStorm is probably a superior development environment for JavaScript applications and it has good support for the compile to languages (TypeScript, CoffeeScript, Dart). I haven't tried debugging TypeScript with Node apps using WebStorm but according to this thread it is possible.
UPDATE:
I've just had a quick look at the NTVS site (see here) and there are workarounds but they're not easy and this remains a work in progress
With the 1.0 beta release of NTVS it is now very simple to debug node.js applications in visual studio (version 2013), as this release contains the typescript compile templates which previous versions did not contain. The new functionality lets you debug directly in your typescript code.
If you are using previous versions you can get around the missing templates by having two projects in your solution, one for a web application (this does the typescript build) and one for the nodejs tools to debug the js code.
Is there a NodeJS plugin for Aptana Studio?
At least for NodeJS code-assist
And perhaps a way to create NodeJS project
And local NodeJS debugging
We have no NodeJS support currently. If this is something the community is interested in, it'd be helpful to file a feature request and vote it up: http://jira.appcelerator.org/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa
Since we are built on eclipse, you should be able to try out the instructions for NodeJS debugging on Eclipse, found here: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Using-Eclipse-as-Node-Applications-Debugger
As for special NodeJs projects, there's no notion of that. You would likely just create a normal Web project. We do have the concept of libraries that you can add to a project, wherein you could point to js files/libs for NodeJS. We also has special syntax files for describing JS libraries/APIs so it can be integrated into our content assist. A good example might be the ruble we have for jQuery which contains that file for two versions of the jQuery API. Here's the 1.6.2 version: https://github.com/aptana/javascript-jquery.ruble/blob/master/support/jquery.1.6.2.sdocml The bundle.rb up in the parent directory hooks up the file in the ruble/bundle.
My guess is that creating an analogous NodeJS ruble and building up an sdocml (xml) file that described the API would be the easiest way to get started. Sharing that on github and sending it to us would allow for others to contribute as well. There are docs for creating rubles here: http://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/tis/Creating+a+new+Ruble
UPDATE: Project URL is http://nodeclipse.github.io/
There is Nodeclipse.org effort. Current version is 0.11 see http://www.nodeclipse.org/history .

I highly recommend using Sublime Text 2.
There are a few nodejs plugins as well as v8 javascript [Sublime v8] and standard ECMA-262.
This is not a direct answer to your question, but if you're looking for a good IDE for node.js, you should definitely try Microsoft WebMatrix 2. It basically does what you requested to do.
I was fed up of fighting with Aptana Studio and plugins and all this stuff... until I found out Sublime Text. Simple and wonderful.
