How to make Camera2D that follows mouse cursor while keeping player inside (like nuclear throne)

Question

Hello, Godot community. Im very new to Godot and game programming. I am attempting to make 2D topdown shooter game like nuclear throne with godot. However, I have no idea how to implement a camera system that follows mouse cursor while keeping the player inside the camera, like the one from nuclear throne. I would appreciate if you could teach me how to implement this feature.

You can lerp the position of the camera between the player character's position and the mouse cursor's position (in world space).
