Most of you know me for my consistency, a golden arrow in my blog series. I've written 1000 articles in 1008 days! Almost an article a day, and my honeymoon was the only holiday I ever took. I'm super proud of this achievement; it has been a fantasti...

It's not the first time I'll be talking about community. I think it's an essential aspect of any successful tool. This shows in my previous explorations of Astro, Medusa, and now Vendure as well. All these products thrive in a super open, welcoming, ...

The cool part about Vendure is how easy it is to set up and how abstract each layer is. Basically, we get the following elements: External database Server Worker Admin UI Frontend While this is amazing, it also brings a bit of complexity when it co...

The previous article looked at customizing Vendure on a data and process level. In this article, we'll look at customizing emails, as they are often a big part of a webshop system. We'll be looking at two different layers of customization for customi...

Even though Vendure is a pretty significant project out of the box, in some cases, we might want to go in and modify some elements to work to our specific use case. In this article, I'll take a high-level look at some elements we can customize within...

I found this super cool feature when you open a Python file in Visual Studio Code. It will help you and suggest the Python plugin.

And for beginners in Python like me, this plugin is super helpful. Out of the box, it has some outstanding features.
You can download the Python Visual Studio Code plugin here.
The plugin will bring this cool run button to run your Python scripts inside Visual Studio automatically.
It will automatically start your environment and execute the command from there, which is incredible!

It also introduces more run functions to execute a test and many more options for Python files.
These are super handy for anyone. The plugin will provide IntelliSense auto-complete functionality, as you can see in the screenshot below.

Furthermore, it can even state documentation when we hover on certain blocks of code.

We can easily set breakpoints in our code, then visit the Run & Debug tab and execute the run.
This will, in return, stop the code at that breakpoint and tell us what's going on till that point.

There are even more cool features to this plugin, but I found these to be super useful for people starting Python.
