Description
The @theia/plugin-ext extension contributes functionality for the plugin API.
Implementation
The implementation is inspired from: https://blog.mattbierner.com/vscode-webview-web-learnings/.
Environment Variables
THEIA_WEBVIEW_EXTERNAL_ENDPOINTA string pattern possibly containing
{{uuid}}and{{hostname}}which will be replaced. This is the host for which thewebviewswill be served on. It is a good practice to host thewebviewhandlers on a sub-domain as it is more secure. Defaults to{{uuid}}.webview.{{hostname}}.
Security Warnings
Potentially Insecure Host Pattern
When you change the host pattern via the
THEIA_WEBVIEW_EXTERNAL_ENDPOINTenvironment variable warning will be emitted both from the frontend and from the backend. You can disable those warnings by settingwarnOnPotentiallyInsecureHostPattern: falsein the appropriate application configurations in your application'spackage.json.
Naming in this package
This package has a different folder structure than other Theia packages. Stuff in the "hosted" folder is meant to be scoped to a front end,
whereas "main" is global to a back end instance. Code in "plugin" runs inside the plugin host process. But be aware that this is not always the case,
for example the plugin manifest scanners (e.g. scanner-theia.ts) are in the hosted folder, even though they a global concern.
