VSCode

VSCode is probably the simplest IDE to get up and running with, as there is simply a couple of extensions installable by the built-in extension manager.

• purescript-language-server: The language server
• vscode-language-purescript
• vscode-ide-purescript

The first vscode extension should be automatically installed by the secone one so is only there for completeness. The above being a complete package in a single place also means little documentation is required here cos it exists over there..

For the demo project, a spago setup is useful; That just means setting the following values in your settings.json

{
  "purescript.codegenTargets": [ "corefn" ],
  "purescript.addSpagoSources": true,
  "purescript.buildCommand": "spago build --purs-args --json-errors"
}

To get this to work effectively, you’ll want to open the server and client code as ‘folders’ separately.
