Visual Studio Code as a Joomla Code Editor (updated 2026)
A practical setup for real Joomla extension work: code intelligence, step debugging, coding standards, snippets, Emmet, Sass, one-key packaging and AI assistance.

This guide covers the rest: making VS Code understand the Joomla framework, debugging a live request line by line, enforcing coding standards automatically, writing layouts at the speed of thought, and building your installable ZIP with one keystroke.
It targets Joomla 5 and 6, with PHP 8.1 or later.
