Accessing Apigee in VS Code
To access Apigee in VS Code, launch VS Code and click the Cloud Code icon in the Activity Bar, and select the Apigee section as shown in the following figure.
Alternatively, to open Apigee in VS Code using the command palette, select View > Command Palette and select View: Show Cloud Code - Apigee.
Apigee in VS Code consists of two main components, as shown in the left pane of the figure above:
- Apigee section used to manage the Apigee workspace, develop and deploy your APIs, and build and export test resources
- Apigee Emulators section used to view your local runtime emulator activity
Learn about the tasks that you can perform using each component in the following sections.
Exploring the Apigee section
Use the Apigee section to develop and deploy your API proxies in your local environment.
As highlighted in the previous figure, the Apigee section enables you to perform the following tasks:
Develop API proxies and shared flows
Attach policies to add features
Manage the resources required by policies
Configure and deploy environments
Build and export test resources for testing your APIs
Exploring the Apigee Emulators section
Use the Apigee Emulators section to view your local runtime emulator activity.
As highlighted in the previous figure, the Apigee Emulators section enables you to:
View the status of the Apigee Emulator, including its Docker and runtime information, and control and traffic ports
View currently deployed applications (see Deploying environments)
View active test resources (see Exporting test resources to the Apigee Emulator)
Add, delete, start, stop, reset, update, and refresh the view of the Apigee Emulator containers, as described in Managing the Apigee Emulator
For more information about the Apigee Emulator, see Managing the Apigee Emulator.
