Appendix A. Setting up your environment
To follow along with this book, you need to have some programs installed on your machine.
You can choose from many great editors. Most of the popular ones have add-on Vue plugins that add syntax highlighting to .vue files.
I use WebStorm because it makes debugging a breeze. Some other good editors include Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, and Atom. You can even use Notepad if you’re feeling old school.
For .vue file highlighting in VSCode, Sublime, or Atom, you need to install a plugin (table A.1).
Table A.1. Editors and plugins
| Editor |
Plugin |
URL |
|---|---|---|
| Sublime | vue-syntax-highlighting | https://github.com/vuejs/vue-syntax-highlight |
| Atom | language-vue | https://github.com/hedefalk/atom-vue |
| vim | vim-vue | https://github.com/posva/vim-vue |
| Visual Studio Code | vetur | https://github.com/vuejs/vetur |
This book is text-editor agnostic. For example, when I teach you how to debug tests, I’ll use a method that works for all text editors and IDEs using Node Debugger and Chrome DevTools.
You’re going to use the command line a lot in this book. You won’t write any complex scripts, but you’ll regularly enter commands to run tests with npm scripts, start servers, and clone repositories with Git. You need to be able to navigate the filesystem with cd and create directories with the mkdir command.
TIP
If you need to improve your command-line skills, you should read Getting to Know the Command Line by David Baumgold: www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/command-line.
