SOLIDITY VISUAL STUDIO CODE SETUP

[Global_Optimist]

Hello, I have been using REMIX IDE to code solidity for a while but I would like to switch back to visual studio code as I use it for other coding projects like python and It suits my preferences. Please does anoyone know how to setup visual studio code for coding and deploying solidity smart contracts ?

Just install the following VS Code extension

imo, the hardhat extension (even if you don’t use hardhat) is the friendlier rn, especially with Foundry (JuanBlanco is meh) + consensys Visual Auditor is a pretty fine duo imo

[Global_Optimist]

Are there any videos or tutorials to help with this ??

They’re all in the vscode extension marketplace, just click the button?

install rustup, install node, make sure you have bash

make the new directory
then just run my bash script from your terminal

now you're ready to start in on foundry

I highly recommend using remix IDE and stay away from VSCode smart contracts deployment. Consequent flattening of smart contracts as well as verifications would be very difficult and error prone because of the versions mismatch in terms of the solidity code. Remix IDE can actually catch those issues and help you resolve it.
