Oct 31, 2018 How To Use PHP In Visual Studio Code is today’s leading topic. Visual Studio Code is the great editor for PHP and other language development. You get almost all the features like syntax highlighting, bracket matching, PHP IntelliSense, and snippets out of the box and you can create or add more functionality through community-created Visual Studio Code extensions. From version 2.13.0 of Dart Code, emulators can be launched directly from within Visual Studio Code, but this feature relies on support from the Flutter tools which means it will only show emulators when using a very recent Flutter SDK.Flutter’s master channel already has this change, but it may take a little longer to filter through to the development and beta channels. With these editors, you have to set up the command line tools. The most widely used are Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ. I would prefer to build flutter apps in Android Studio. Everything is pretty easy and stable with the android studio. 5 Install Flutter and Dart. Open Android Studio select plugins and search for Flutter.

In this tutorial you will learn how to install flutter with visual studio code in windows, mac & ubuntu.This tutorial mainly focuses on how to configure visual studio code with flutter.For installing flutter on windows, mac and Ubuntu just refer below links.
Windows:How to install flutter on windows with android studio.
Mac :How to install flutter on mac with Xcode.
Ubuntu :How to install flutter on ubuntu.
Installing Visual Studio CodeInstalling Visual Studio Code
Windows
- Download Visual Studio Code.
- Once it is downloaded, run the installer (VSCodeUserSetup-{version}.exe). This will only take a minute.
Mac
Method 1
Installing visual studio code on mac is quite a simple task as this requires just one command to download and install.
To install visual studio code on mac just run the following command
Method 2
You can also install visual studio code the other way suggested in official documentation.lets see it below.
- Download Visual studio code for mac.
- Double-click on the downloaded archive to expand the contents.
- Drag Visual Studio Code.app to the Applications folder, making it available in the Launchpad.
- Add VS Code to your Dock by right-clicking on the icon to bring up the context menu and choosing Options, Keep in Dock.
Launching visual studio code from command line
You can also run VS Code from the terminal by typing ‘code’ after adding it to the path.
- Launch VS Code.
- Open the Command Palette (F1) and type ‘shell command’ to find the Shell Command: Install ‘code’ command in PATH command.
- Restart the terminal for the new $PATH value to take effect. You’ll be able to type ‘code .’ in any folder to start editing files in that folder.
Note: If you still have the old code alias in your .bash_profile (or equivalent) from an early VS Code version, remove it and replace it by executing the Shell Command: Install ‘code’ command in PATH command.
To manually add VS Code to your path, you can run the following commands
Start a new terminal to pick up your .bash_profile changes.
Note: The leading slash is required to prevent $PATH from expanding during the concatenation. Remove the leading slash if you want to run the export command directly in a terminal.
Ubuntu
Method 1
- To install visual studio code on Ubuntu download the 64 bit .deb file from the Visual Studio Download Page.
- Save the file on prompt and wait for the file to download.
- Once the file is downloaded go to downloads folder by using the following command.
- Now to install visual studio code run the following command.
- Replace your file name.deb in the above command with the name of the .deb package you downloaded
After replacing the above command will look like
That would install visual studio code successfully.
Method 2
We can also install visual studio code as per official documentation.Lets see the steps below.
The easiest way to install Visual Studio Code for Debian/Ubuntu based distributions is to download and install the .deb package (64-bit), either through the graphical software center if it’s available, or through the command line with
Installing the .deb package will automatically install the apt repository and signing key to enable auto-updating using the system’s package manager. Note that 32-bit and .tar.gz binaries are also available on the VS Code download page.
Visual Studio Code Flutter Extension
The repository and key can also be installed manually with the following script.
Then update the package cache and install the package using
Install Flutter Extension on Visual Studio Code
- Launch Visual Studio code.
- Click on Extensions located in the left menu.
- Type flutter in the search bar.
- Find the flutter extension by dartcode.
- Click on install button
- Restart Visual Studio Code after installing the extension.
And you are done!!

I wrote a guide for installing Flutter on OS X last year, and I’ve started over again on a new computer to have discovered a few bumps that you might run into on your Mac.
First step is to go through the setup. This can take you less than 30 minutes. When it does work without any bumps, then you’ve discovered nirvana because:
- You built a quick “my_app” for Flutter
- You started an iOS emulator on your computer
- And then it actually ran within the emulator magically
The next steps you wish to run to are to deploy on your real mobile devices — both iOS and Android — and then say to yourself, “Whaaaaaaat?” That’ll take you maybe 1 or 2 more hours.
But in case you ran into a few bumps, I include a few that I ran into that were new to me from the last time I did all these installs from zero.
This bump took me 20 minutes to resolve, and if it happens to you then this guide is for your! Read onwards!
Null Safety Isn’t A Bump
Please note that the Dart world has introduced something geeky cool called “null safety” protection. And the default demo Flutter app tells you:
That sounds … unsafe. It just means that the demo itself hasn’t been updated to its new shiny status of providing null safety. Just wait and this’ll get fixed in the demos. No worries!
To get more nerdy, visit this comprehensive null safety page. And reading about the pre-announcement will help you get excited about what this means to you. Better experiences! :+)
Getting Your Android Emulator Running Bump
The instructions for getting your Android emulator running from Android Studio refers to step 1 as your needing to “Enable VM acceleration on your machine” but lands you in a page talking about graphic acceleration. No worries. You don’t need to think about this at all if you’re just starting out. Forget it and move on!
While building an emulator device, it’ll ask you for a system image. That needs to get downloaded first before you get to go forward. If you choose a device with a “Play Store” icon next to it, then it will give you a choice of many past versions of Android. So you get so many choices! Yaaaaaay. yay. ya … This is important if you are debugging your app on all the versions of all the devices in the world. If you’re not going to do that right now, then just pick one version of the OS you want on the device you want, and keep moving!
And then you get a “playlist” of devices. Go ahead and hit the play button!
And if you close your iOS emulator (or keep it up too if you don’t mind selecting the target devices from your command line incantation) it’ll pop up on your Android device magically.
Sign up for the CX Briefing with no more than 2021 characters, zero images, and all in plain-text.
Getting Your Path Set Right Bump
Keep in mind that updating your path is important when trying to get Flutter nirvana to happen for you. I’m lazy and always forget how to do this correctly. You need to know which UNIX shell you’re running to get this right. If you have a vanilla Mac install, then you’re using Z shell.
In the case below, I’ve verified that I’m running Z shell. And I know that I’ve plopped my Flutter SDK inside a top-level directory named ‘development’ with the binary executables sitting in flutter/bin.
This will “set and forget” for you so that when you’re distracted by something else at your workplace (or at home), you’ll remember how to get running with your Flutter studies more quickly.
Android Studio Plugin Bump
- Flutter complains that it can’t find something special in your Android Studio install … even though you did it right. Flutter doctor keeps returning the same thing and you’re feeling icky.
The solution is to do this from your terminal after you’ve installed the Flutter and Dart plugin after a few times and restarting the IDE — hoping it will miraculously work at some point.
And if the stars are aligned, you’ll see this beauty:
Visual Studio Editor Bump
You’re trying to edit the code, and then remember how great VS (Visual Studio) Code is. And so you download and install Visual Studio. Wrong! You need to install Visual Studio Code instead.
They sound the same and look the same from a download perspective. But they’re not!
So if you’re on Mac, and you’re running your emulator:
And you have a terminal window open and are running the sample my_app
From File > Open you can select the my_app directory and it appears on screen like this:
You edit the code in VS Code … say change the color from ‘blue’ to ‘red’ …
Flutter In Visual Studio
Save the main.dart file with a command-S. Then hit the ‘r’ key in the terminal window to do a “Hot reload” and then this happens:
And then the app turns red …
Change Your info.plist Bump
Some Flutter modules will ask you do things for iOS that are special. Same happens for Android, too. For iOS if you need to do this:
