Development Environment

The following guide assumes that you are using Microsoft’s VSCode editor.

Recommended Plugins

• ES-Lint
• Prettier
• Python

Recommended Settings

Inside the .vscode/ folder we recommend adding the following settings:

{
  "python.linting.enabled": true,
  "editor.formatOnSave": true, // This tells Prettier to auto-format .js and .jsx files on save
}

It is highly recommended to open the VSCode Command Palette (Mac: Shift + CMD + P) and use the Python: Select Interpreter command to select the python from your conda environment.
