Back in the Beginner's Guide, you learned the basics of Yarn Spinner Scripting by using our online tool, Try Yarn Spinner. Try Yarn Spinner is great for the basics, and for experimenting, but when you start creating more complex narratives, you need a great editor: Yarn Spinner for Visual Studio Code.
Yarn Spinner for Visual Studio Code is an extension for the free text editor, Visual Studio Code ("VS Code"). Yarn Spinner for Visual Studio Code gives you syntax highlighting for Yarn Spinner Scripts, as well as a graph view that displays the nodes, and relationships between the nodes, and a whole bunch of other useful features that we'll be exploring as we learn the Fundamentals.
Once you've got VS Code installed on your system, you'll want to install the Yarn Spinner for Visual Studio Code:
That's all you need to do to install the extension! You're ready to write and edit Yarn scripts with Visual Studio Code.
If you've never used to VS Code before, for your operating system and platform before continuing. Don't be too alarmed by the AI-powered nonsense Microsoft will try and sell you, you can turn it off and ignore it.
If you're already familiar with VS Code and VS Code extensions, you can just install the extension secretlab.yarn-spinner, or click and hit the install button, and you'll be ready to go.
