I have been used Phpstrom from last 4 years as web developer. i love to used Phpstrom but i saw some drawbacks like

  • Have to pay for the license
  • High Ram usage it may slow down your working speed

then i found better alternative solution is VS Code.

  • It provide same functionality as PhpStrom dose.
  • Free of Cose (it is Open Source)
  • faster than Phpstrom and lighter in terms of RAM usage

Fear Not, i will explain step by step how to migrate

First you have to install VS code. if you haven’t here is link for download it from official source

By default Phpstrom not comes with direct support for the PHP,TypeScript,Js but Thankfully to there extensions we can customize our own way

Here is Recommended Extension list for Vs code

NOTE : To install, Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P) and execute the following
