Moving to VSCode
This step is optional; you can continue editing files in the browser. However, we strongly recommend using Microsoft's development environment, VSCode.
So, if you want to develop more conveniently, we suggest doing the following:
-
Download VSCode for your operating system at: https://code.visualstudio.com/download
-
Install VSCode on your computer
-
Find and install the Chatium extension - it will allow you to synchronize the code you see in VSCode with the code in your Chatium account. This extension can be found within VSCode or via this link
-
Now open the IDE in the browser and click the "Open in VSCode" button
-
The browser will ask for permission to switch to VSCode, and VSCode itself will ask for permission to run an external file; respond with consent everywhere, and your account will be connected in VSCode.
-
After that, click the "Open folder" button in the "Chatium" extension tab
-
That's it! After this, we should see our backend file in the folders and files of VSCode. Open it and try to edit it. Then, go to the browser, open your backend file for viewing (not in the IDE) at https://<your.domain>/backend
In the case of GetCourse https://<your.domain>/chtm/backend
- Change something in the file in VSCode, for example, the title, save the file, refresh the page in the browser, and make sure the changes have been applied.
