I ask if there is a solution or a package to install in atom so that I can debug javascript (when using node) in the IDE, like the one offered by Visual Studio Code.
Thank you in advance.

Nuclide – an atom package – enables debugging of a page running in Chrome inside Atom.
More infos in the Nuclide docs.

Thank you , I just want to ask if it is used to debug node js because whenever I want to use the debugger it notices that there are no debugger attached?

If you want to attach a debugger, you're going to need to start a node process for the atom debugger to hook into via
node --inspect. By default, that runs on port 9229. The attached debugger allows you to interactively walk through whatever you run in the node terminal or IDE debugger console. I find it more convenient to use the IDE's launch debugger option to walk through a file.Steven Kalt
Also, Nuclide is now atom-ide-ui, so you'd install the ide via
apm install atom-ide atom-ide-debugger-node.

@StevenKalt That's not strictly true, is it?
atom-ide-ui is just a subset of Nuclide, and did not include a debugger when released: "Our hope is that other Nuclide features will eventually also become part of the Atom IDE effort, including key components like the Nuclide debugger."Steven Kalt
For this purpose they're equivalent: the debugger was included in [email protected]. The nuclide task runner, mercurial support, working sets, and remote development capabilities don't look like they're getting ported.
