I recently started working with Flutter and chose VS Code as my primary editor. Here’s the tooling stack and setup notes.
Tools
- VS Code — editor
- Install the Dart extension and the Flutter extension.
- FVM — Dart/Flutter version manager.
- Android Studio — emulator + SDK manager.
Tips for the Dart Extension
- After editing
pubspec.yaml
, VS Code generally runspub get
automatically. For Git dependencies, trigger Pub: Upgrade Packages manually instead of deleting the lock file. - The extension resolves the Dart SDK in this order: explicit SDK path in settings, then the global PATH (e.g.,
fvm global
).
