Example

🔌 Configuration IDE / Editor

It uses an environment variable named VUE_EDITOR to specify an IDE application, but if you do not set this variable, it will try to open a common IDE that you have open or installed once it is certified.

For example, if you want it always open VS Code when inspection clicked, set export VUE_EDITOR=code in your shell.

VS Code

install VS Code command line tools, see the official docs
set env to shell, like .bashrc or .zshrc
```
export VUE_EDITOR=code
```

VS Code with WSL (Windows)

add the configuration in the settings.json
restart the VS Code (All Windows should be closed to take effect)

{
  // other config...

  "terminal.integrated.env.linux": {
    "EDITOR": "code"
  }
}

WebStorm

just set env with an absolute path to shell, like .bashrc or .zshrc (only MacOS)
```
export VUE_EDITOR='/Applications/WebStorm.app/Contents/MacOS/webstorm'
```

install WebStorm command line tools
then set env to shell, like .bashrc or .zshrc
```
export VUE_EDITOR=webstorm
```
