How Do You Run Flutter VS Code?

Published in Software Development 2 mins read

To run a Flutter application in VS Code, you need to:

  1. Open your Flutter project folder in VS Code. You can do this by clicking "File" > "Open Folder" and selecting the directory containing your Flutter project.
  2. Ensure the Flutter and Dart extensions are installed. These extensions provide necessary tools and features for working with Flutter in VS Code.
  3. Run the flutter run command. You can do this by clicking the "Run" button in the VS Code toolbar or by using the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P) and searching for "Flutter: Run". This command will build and launch your Flutter application on an emulator or connected device.

Here are some additional tips:

  • Select a device or emulator: Before running your app, you can choose a device or emulator from the dropdown menu in the VS Code toolbar.
  • Use the flutter doctor command: This command checks your environment setup and identifies any issues that need to be resolved.
  • Use the flutter pub get command: This command downloads any required packages and dependencies for your Flutter project.

Example:

Suppose you have a Flutter project named "my_app" in your workspace. You can run the app by following these steps:

  1. Open the "my_app" folder in VS Code.
  2. Click the "Run" button in the toolbar or use the command palette to run the flutter run command.
  3. Select your preferred device or emulator.
  4. The Flutter application will be built and launched on your chosen device.

By following these steps, you can successfully run your Flutter applications in VS Code.
