@creece is there a good WebStorm tutorial? I tried the trial version and not sure I'm okay with it? I currently use Atom IDE, whilst that doesn't have SDF it's working well for me I'm always considering an upgrade though, like Eclipse or WebStorm with SDF support sounds great psst also I'm on windows in case.. lol

I think @mattdahse’s book goes through it: https://leanpub.com/netsuitedevelopment There's also the official NetSuite SDF plugin now too you can use. You don't have to use any IDE if you're using the SDF CLI you can use whatever you want as some people use Sublime/VS Code etc... I don't recommend Eclipse at all. While free, its a dumpster fire. I use Webstorm on Windows and Mac and I love it. I pay for the entire JetBrains toolset which costs me like $140-ish/yr for ALL of the tools.

Sadly, the book is now several webstorm/SDF versions out of date.

@creece I am planning to try SDF, I have been doing suitescript and NetSuite stuff using bundles for a few years but based on your experience, what are the main benefits for using it? I am happy to read that you do not need to use Eclipse for that or any other specific IDE.

(High Level) It just lets you bundle everything using meta data so you can easily deploy things and you keep all changes (including new fields etc...) so it becomes the source of truth for all things in your account.

Got it! Thanks, I will give it a try

@mattdahse is there a must have(?) tutorial? I have a similar one for ATOM that I use internally in our company but like seems like Webstorm+SDF is a big and different beast

I don’t know that there’s a good tutorial that is up to date. There have been a lot of changes to the IDE lately that smooth out the experience. IMO, it’s a must-have to do modern development in NetSuite.
