# Working with Amazon EventBridge Schemas
<a name="eventbridge-schemas"></a>

You can use the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code (VS Code) to perform various operations on [Amazon EventBridge schemas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eventbridge-schemas.html).

## Prerequisites
<a name="eventbridge-schemas-prereq"></a>
+ Be sure your system meets the prerequisites specified in [Installing the Toolkit for VS Code](setup-toolkit.md#setup-prereq).
+ The EventBridge schema you want to work with must be available in your AWS account. If it isn't, create or upload it. See [Amazon EventBridge Schemas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eventbridge-schemas.html) in the [Amazon EventBridge User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/).

## View an Available Schema
<a name="eventbridge-schemas-view"></a>

1. In the **AWS Explorer**, expand **Schemas**.

1. Expand the name of the registry that contains the schema you want to view. For example, many of the schemas that AWS supplies are in the **aws.events** registry.

1. To view a schema in the editor, open the context menu of the schema, and then choose **View Schema**.

## Find an Available Schema
<a name="eventbridge-schemas-find"></a>

In the **AWS Explorer**, do one or more of the following:
+ Begin typing the title of the schema you want to find. The **AWS Explorer** highlights the schema titles that contain a match. (A registry must be expanded for you to see the highlighted titles.)
+ Open the context menu for **Schemas**, and then choose **Search Schemas**. Or expand **Schemas**, open the context menu for the registry that contains the schema you want to find, and then choose **Search Schemas in Registry**. In the **EventBridge Schemas Search** dialog box, begin typing the title of the schema you want to find. The dialog box displays the schema titles that contain a match.

  To display the schema in the dialog box, select the title of the schema.

1. In the **AWS Explorer**, expand **Schemas**.

1. Expand the name of the registry that contains the schema you want to generate code for.

1. Right-click the title of the schema, and then choose **Download code bindings**.

1. In the resulting wizard pages, choose the following:
   + The **Version** of the schema
   + The code binding language
   + The workspace folder where you want to store the generated code on your local development machine
