Creating Your First Project

The fastest way to start is using the built-in web editor:

  1. Go to Developers Portal
  2. Click Add build
  3. Choose Create in editor
  4. The editor opens with a blank script β€” start writing your story

The web editor provides syntax highlighting, autocomplete, \\ shortcuts, and an integrated debugger. See the Web Editor section for details.

Option 2: Local Development (Legacy)​

If you prefer working with local files:

  1. Download the template project here
  2. Extract it into a folder where your project will be stored
  3. The .ysls.json file contains settings for the development environment; it's better to leave it as-is
  4. Edit .yarn files in any text editor (we recommend VS Code with Yarn Spinner extension)
  5. Upload your files to the Developers Portal when ready
Recommendation

The web editor is the recommended approach for new projects. It eliminates the need for local setup and provides real-time feedback as you write.
