Welcome to the PWA Studio Code Extension Documentation!

The PWA Studio Code Extension brings commands and interface to VSCode that are specific to developing progressive web applications, turning your go-to developer environment into a PWA workshop. The extension includes functionality for:

  • Starting a new PWA
  • Converting an existing web app into a PWA
  • Managing your PWA's manifest and service workers
  • Packaging your PWA for the Microsoft, Google, and Apple Stores
  • ...and more!

This documentation contains all the info you need for working with the extension, and can be navigated using the table of contents to the right ➡️➡️➡️


Getting the Extension

The PWA Builder Code extension is available on the VSCode Extension Marketplace and can be downloaded here.

If you already have VS Code installed, clicking install will prompt you to open VS Code and take you right to the extension. If you don't have VS Code but want to try developing PWAs with the extension, you can download Code here.
