create-near-app VS Visual Studio Code

For this guide, I decided to build an NFT Market Place using Near Protocol, although there is a much faster way of setting up a near project using create-near-app, I wanted to put the pieces together to make it easier to understand.

For near dapps there is a npx binary create-near-app. It has some options to choose what type of frontend you are going to use and also what type of smart contract you are going to use. Here are the option you can use:

That's it, now you can try to build some nice web app to have a frontend application which can use your smart contract. Usefull library to get started with the js api for building near web apps is near-api-js or if you're familiar with react you can use create-near-app library. Good luck!

Visual Studio Code (VS Code): Developed by Microsoft, VS Code is a lightweight yet powerful IDE with extensive support for Python development through extensions. It offers features like IntelliSense, debugging, and built-in Git integration.

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.

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.
