We love Visual Studio Code, so much so that we've created an extension to make the component library as easy to use in it as possible.
Search 'GBG' from within VS Code, or download it from the marketplace.
Our create react app template provides you with all the best practice scaffolding to get a GBG web app up and running in minutes.
Check out the react library getting started guide for details on how to use the CRA template.
