Local Development

Developers have a wide variety of toolchains, from operating systems to code quality standards. This section walks you through modifying your setup to create your preferred development environment.

It includes instructions for Windows and Linux machines, environment variables, Javascript setup (webpack, Babel, browser support), and code quality standards (formatting, linting, typing).
