ably-js VS Visual Studio Code

Start by installing express, the vite-plugin-api package, and the Ably Javascript SDK:

The Node.js function needs to communicate with Ably in order to retrieve an authentication token. The Ably JavaScript client library will be used for this.

The Ably JavaScript SDK repository

In order to use token authentication in this way, we need to create an API somewhere, to call from the front-end, that has your real Ably API key stored in it. We can then use a function in the Ably SDK to exchange your real API key for a token that gets returned to the Ably JavaScript SDK. The Ably JavaScript SDK manages this token exchange process for you. When you provide a URL that points to an API that will return a token, the SDK will manage and refresh the token as required, so you don’t need to worry about it. This demo will walk through using AWS Lambda functions and the AWS API Gateway to achieve this.

In VSCode for example this can be easily done by adding the following .vscode/launch.json file:

I had a near-identical experience. I looked into switching in 2019 and ran into this 2016 bug which was a showstopper for me. Fixed it myself, grand total 4 line diff. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/10643

When working in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), always create a new Python file for your project.

Code Editor: Choose a code editor like Visual Studio Code that offers good support for web technologies and extensions for PWA development.

Choosing IDE: Selecting a suitable Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is crucial for efficient coding. Consider popular options such as PyCharm, Visual Studio Code, or Jupyter Notebook. Install your preferred IDE and ensure it's configured to work with Python.

I was doing it all wrong, designing and developing on the fly, using the same tool - VScode; Making one step forward and ten back when I mess up with good code while trying to get rid of the bad. I had gotten away with it for three pages, but it had finally caught up with me.
