Editor Setup

While most popular development environments support Rust, support for certain features like auto-completion and go-to-definition is better in some than others.

VS Code

For new Rust users we recommend using VS-Code as your editor and IDE for Nannou development. Currently it seems to have the best support for the Rust language including syntax highlighting, auto-complete, code formatting and more. It also comes with an integrated unix terminal and file navigation system. Below are the steps we recommend for getting started with Nannou development using VS-Code.

  1. Download VS-Code for your OS.
  2. Install rust-analyzer plugin for VS-Code.
  3. Click on the 'view' menu and select 'terminal'.
