Appendix A. Setting up your environment
To follow along with this book, you need to have some programs installed on your machine.
A.1 Choosing a text editor
You can choose from many great editors. Most of the popular ones have add-on Vue plugins that add syntax highlighting to .vue files.
I use WebStorm because it makes debugging a breeze. Some other good editors include Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, and Atom. You can even use Notepad if you’re feeling old school.
For .vue file highlighting in VSCode, Sublime, or Atom, you need to install a plugin (table A.1).
