My journey with Visual Studio Code.

-
I have been a Visual Studio user since 2012. Mostly focused on C++ and C# programs , I always like the technical aspect of Visual Studio , like the watch windows or the memory map , which made debugging easier.
Then I went on to do web development , I started on sublime text . Then came Atom, sleek , smooth and easy to use. But still lacked an in built debugging tool.
Enter Visual Studio Code.Visual Studio as a text editor.
Visual Studio Code is easily customizable with all the plug in you can imagine.
From linters to icons , you can make the code editor your own experience.

My top extensions are:
1) C++ intellisense
2) Python linter
3) Beautify
4) Debugger for chrome.

In this post I will talk about how I went on to implement  Leaflet's  mini-map interface on a map based application called  bridge-troll . So you can check out the project  here .Its a map-based game that unlocks "troll" under bridges using open data.The mini - map library that I used in Norkart's Leaflet-MiniMap that can be found  here  . Implementing the mini - map was not easy and after my use of the library , I did notice some bugs. Firstly the websites example shows that the mini-map can be toggled using the 'ToggleDisplay' property.The example can be seen  here  . As you can see that the example can toggle the mini-map but in my example the toggle button does not show up. No toggle button This problem is already filed as an issue in the repository which can be found  here  . I did reply on this issue with example pictures. This problem really makes it hard for the mini-map to appear separated from the main map.  So I will curr
