A Visual Studio Code extension by Microsoft that provides a development environment for React Native and Expo projects. It enables debugging of JavaScript/Hermes code on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Expo targets, and exposes react-native/expo commands via the command palette.
Use cases
- debug react native app in vscode
- debug hermes app on android from editor
- attach debugger to ios react native app
- run expo commands from vscode command palette
- debug expo go application
- set up logcat monitor for android debugging
- debug react native windows or macos app
When to choose
- you develop React Native or Expo apps in VS Code and want integrated debugging
- you need Hermes engine debugging across Android, iOS, Windows, or macOS
- you want to run react-native/expo CLI commands without leaving the editor
When to avoid
- you use a different editor or IDE like Android Studio or Xcode
- you only need plain JavaScript/Node debugging without React Native
- you develop native-only mobile apps without React Native
