Akamai EdgeWorkers VSCode Extension

Install

1. Install the latest VS Code

2. From the VS Code Extensions Marketplace, search for "EdgeWorkers" and hit the Install button.

Dependencies / Usage

1. The EdgeWorkers panel will be automatically added to the left side of the VSCode window.

2. The EdgeWorkers VSCode extension depends on the Akamai CLI, minimum version 1.3.0 with EdgeWorkers command minimum version 1.4.1. Many of our customers will already have this set up, but if not on first launch of the EdgeWorkers panel they will be prompted to install and set up OPEN API credentials in .edgerc as outlined in the developer docs. Usage from here assumes you have completed this step.

3. Additional configuration is available in the VSCode preferences; most customers will not need to use this but if they use multiple .edgerc sections or a custom edgerc path they will, and Akamai internal users will likely need to fill in Account Key here:
