ObjectScript IDEs
This section covers the IDEs you can use to develop ObjectScript code on an InterSystems IRIS instance: Visual Studio Code (VS Code) with the ObjectScript extension, and Studio.
Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a free source code editor made by Microsoft for Windows, Linux, and macOS. While it can be used out of the box as a .NET, Python, or JavaScript IDE with InterSystems IRIS, available extensions enable you to use VS Code to develop code in ObjectScript, which is stored and versioned on the client system and compiled, run, and debugged on an InterSystems IRIS server. VS Code can connect to any InterSystems IRIS instance regardless of the platform the instance is running on, using the DNS name or IP address of the host, the name of the instance, and the instance’s webserver port number. For installation and usage instructions, see Use Visual Studio Code as a Development Environment for InterSystems ApplicationsOpens in a new tab.
Studio
InterSystems IRIS application developers can also the Studio IDE, a client application running on Windows systems; see Using Studio for detailed information. Studio can connect to any InterSystems IRIS instance regardless of the platform the instance is running on, using the DNS name or IP address of the host, the name of the instance, and the instance’s superserver port number, which is 1972 by default (but may be different is more than one instance is installed on the system).
