VSC Extension Helper

Use decorators or higher-order functions to help you register commands.

Usage

• Install the dependencies:

# yarn
yarn add vsc-extension-helper

# npm
npm install vsc-extension-helper

• If you use decorator syntax, modify tsconfig.json to enable the decorator experimental option, and modify the entry file to import reflect-metadata.

// tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    ...
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    ...
  },
}

Add import 'reflect-metadata' at the beginning of the entry file

// extension.ts
import 'reflect-metadata';

• bootstrap your extension

// extension.ts
import 'reflect-metadata';

import {ExtensionContext} from 'vscode';

import {withActivate} from 'vsc-extension-helper/hoc';

export const activate = withActivate({
  extensionId: <Your extension id>,
})(async function activate(context:ExtensionContext){
  // Maybe this method is not good at the moment, but you need to dynamically import the command code file you wrote here, otherwise the command will fail to register.
  // For example: await import("./commands");
  // your code
})

• register some commands

Use decorator

import { command, textEditorCommand } from 'vsc-extension-helper/decorators';

// 1. use decorators
class CommandUtils {
  @command({
    name: 'command1',
  })
  command1() {
    // do something
  }

  // register text editor command: command2
  @textEditorCommand()
  command2() {
    // do something
  }
}

Use higher-order functions

import { withCommand, withTextEditorCommand } from 'vsc-extension-helper/hoc';

// register command3
withCommand({
  name: 'command3',
})(function command3(...args: any[]) {
  // do something
});

// register command4
withTextEditorCommand(options)(function command4(...args: any[]) {});
