azure logic app, visual studio, open existing logic app from portal?

Question

can you import or open existing logic apps from the azure portal in Visual Studio 2015? I don't want to recreate them all! I've looked at the code view in the azure portal and it looks like I can copy that to Visual Studio but that is throwing up all sorts of errors. Surely there must be a way? TIA

Answer 1

using cloudexplorer for VS2015 you should be able to open existing logicapps in VS -> LogicApps Editor

Pre-Req
Install LogicApps VS extension available here

Latest update (v2.7) for the logic apps extension has the "Download" feature to get the codeview locally.
