Using the Developer Console

You can use the Developer Console in the same supported browsers as Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic.

The Developer Console enables you to perform these functions.

• Use the menu bar (1) to create or open these Lightning resources.
  • Application
  • Component
  • Interface
  • Event
  • Tokens
• Use the workspace (2) to work on your Lightning resources.
• Use the sidebar (3) to create or open client-side resources that are part of a specific component bundle.
  • Controller
  • Helper
  • Style
  • Documentation
  • Renderer
  • Design
  • SVG

While the Developer Console provides an easy way to work with Aura components, it doesn’t include many developer tools and features. To enable source-drive development with editor features like code completion and linting, consider these alternatives:

• Code Builder—A web-based IDE that has all the power and flexibility of VS Code, Salesforce Extensions for VS Code, and Salesforce CLI in your web browser. You can install Code Builder as a managed package in a supported Salesforce org edition.
• Salesforce DX Tools—Use the Salesforce CLI and VS Code with the Salesforce Extension Pack to deploy code to an org.
