Simple plugin for VS Code that allows you to quickly navigate the file inside your project's node_modules directory. Chances are you have the node_modules folder excluded from the built-in search in VS Code, which means if you want to open and/or edit a file inside node_modules, you can have to find it manually, which can be annoying when your node_modules folder is large.
