Install and Configure
To start using the Bruno VS Code extension, install it from the official Visual Studio Code Marketplace, or simply open the Extensions panel in your editor and search for Bruno.
Once installed, open a Bruno collection and begin sending API requests right from your editor.
Usage
Dual View Mode
Bruno VS Code extension offers two distinct viewing modes to suit different workflows:
- Using the Explorer - File mode with syntax highlighting
- Using the Extension - GUI mode with visual interface
Using the Explorer
If you already have loaded Bruno collection into the editor the File mode will be default view to switch GUI mode click on Bruno icon.
Using the Extension
By clicking the extension in VS Code, you will have a similar experience to the Bruno Desktop App. To switch between view modes, click the arrow icons in the top right of your editor.
Working with Collections
Similar to the desktop application, the extension will first start as a clean slate. Click the ”+” icon to either open, create, or import a collection.
