# Tools and Dev Tips to use for Component/Service developement

In an Eclipse based developer (like Servoy Developer) you can install Wild Web Developer throught the Market place. This will handle angular projects like TS, HTML (with angular tags) but also stuff like CSS/LESS

Also Visual Studio Code can be used to develop stuff.

Servoy will not build by default the changes you make in component or service code, for that you need to run on the command line the nmp command "npm run build\_debug" in the directory that you can see in the Titanium Build Console:

"Total time to check/install Titanium NG target folder: yourworkspacefolder.metadata.plugins\com.servoy.eclipse.ngclient.ui\target\the\_solution\_name"

Also for source builds Servoy needs to know where it can find the sources, for this you need a .sourcepath file:

```json
{
"srcDir": "projects/svyidle",
"apiFile": "src/public-api"
}
```

the srcDir should point to the source directory (so not the distribution build like Entry-Point in the manifest or service spec file) the apFile should point to the public-api.ts file (without ts) which exports all stuff that should be seen by servoy (public exposed stuff)
