Hello!

Can someone share how to properly setup a VSCode to work with function nodes?  
I tried: "steveorevo/node-red-flow2src" and "functions-templates-manager".  
My issue is that both of them do a full deploy on the server. I need a solution to only deploy the modified nodes. Is there any chance that there is a solution for that?

My Node-Red server works on a different VMserver on Windows Server handled by PM2. It handles production data to feed PLCs so it would be good that not to loose the flow variables and the modbus server data.

Thank you for your help guys!
