Text Editor

We will primarily use Visual Studio Code as our editor of choice but feel free to use your own if you wish. There are alternatives such as Sublime, Vim, Emacs, Nano, Atom, Notepad++, etc. Choosing a text editor doesn't matter since the server and the client will be run through the terminal so choose the one you're most comfortable with.

Necessary Plugins/Extensions

Set up your editor of choice to use Prettier. We use Prettier to automatically format our code to maintain readability and consistency.

Set up your editor of choice with ESLint integration. ESLint helps catch common coding logical errors that our editor can't catch. It also helps enforce best practices for writing our software.
