How to setup VS Code and CLion for EOS dApp Development

setup-ide

Every developer needs a good IDE which is set up for the development process of his project. This is why we created a quick tutorial on how to setup your VS Code and/or CLion for EOS dApp Development.
We’re also created a few scripts for VS Code which will automate some of the commands you use in the terminal.

Visual Studio Code Setup

In the first place install a few VS Code extensions if you don’t have them yet. They will be very helpful through your dApp development:

C/C++ – IntelliSense, debugging, and code browsing for VS Code
CMake – CMake language support for Visual Studio Code
CMake Tools – Extended CMake support in Visual Studio Code
WebAssembly – Syntax highlight for WebAssembly textual representation

When we’re developing EOSIO dApps we’re writing our code in .hpp and .cpp files. However, this is a very small part of the whole process. Most of the time we’ll need to generate some other files which we’ll use to deploy the contract on the blockchain, to unit test it and etc. This is where CMake comes handy.

CMake is a command line tool used to control the software compilation process. It makes the whole thing very easy once it is set properly inside your IDE...
