Using VSCode and Dev Containers

The Visual Studio Code Dev Containers extension lets you use a container as a full-featured development environment. It allows you to open any folder inside (or mounted into) a container and take advantage of Visual Studio Code's full feature set.

See <devcontainer-documentation> for more information.

Prerequisites

Initial setup

After you've verified that the extension is installed and working, click on the "Remote Status" bar icon and select "Reopen in Container".

Once your machine is built and running you'll need to make sure to update the .env.local file with the required credentials. These are essential to running the application.

Running the app

In this project, we use tasks to make the experience easier when using VSCode.

Click on "Terminal" -> "Run Task" -> "bin/server - run the server"

We use overmind to start up all of the required processes defined in Procfile.dev.

Your application will be viewable at http://localhost:3000.
