Running Atlantis Front End in Visual Studio Code (VS Code)

Most of our engineers have run into issues when running Atlantis Front End locally. Some cannot even get the project to run, others experience extreme slowness, and others have tons of new files (.js and .map.js files) added all over the place and it's annoying to delete them all. Because of this, most are running Atlantis Front End w/ Visual Studio Code but it doesn't work out of the box.

One alternative approach is to continue to run w/ Visual Studio, but do all your coding in VS Code.

To run in VS Code take the following steps

1. In the Atlantis-FrontEnd\.vscode folder in the repo, replace the launch.json, settings.json, and tasks.json files with the ones downloaded from here (you need to be a user on The Dev Team account in Rubex in order to access)
2. Install the following extensions (not all are required, but all are helpful)
   • .NET Install Tool
   • C#
   • C# Dev Kit
   • GitHub Copilot
   • GitHub Copilot Chat
   • IntelliCode
     
   • IntelliCode API Usage Examples
   • TypeScript React Code Snippets
   • VisualStudio Keymap
