Visual Studio Code

Installation and setup

Follow the Set up an editor instructions to
install the Dart and Flutter extensions
(also called plugins).

Updating the extension

Updates to the extensions are shipped on a regular basis.
By default, VS Code automatically updates extensions when
updates are available.

To install updates manually:

Click the Extensions button in the Side Bar.

If the Flutter extension is shown with an available update,
click the update button and then the reload button.

Restart VS Code.

Creating projects

There are a couple ways to create a new project.

Creating a new project

To create a new Flutter project from the Flutter
starter app template:

Open the Command Palette
(Ctrl+Shift+P (Cmd+Shift+P on macOS)).

Select the Flutter: New Project command and press Enter.
