vlt Debuts New JavaScript Package Manager and Serverless Registry at NodeConf EU
vlt introduced its new package manager and a serverless registry this week, innovating in a space where npm has stagnated.
@types/vscode
Advanced tools
@types/vscode provides TypeScript definitions for the Visual Studio Code (VSCode) API, enabling developers to write extensions for VSCode with type safety and IntelliSense support.
Creating Commands
This feature allows you to create custom commands that can be executed from the command palette. The code sample demonstrates how to register a command that shows a 'Hello World!' message.
const vscode = require('vscode');
function activate(context) {
let disposable = vscode.commands.registerCommand('extension.sayHello', function () {
vscode.window.showInformationMessage('Hello World!');
});
context.subscriptions.push(disposable);
}
exports.activate = activate;
Creating Status Bar Items
This feature allows you to create items in the status bar. The code sample demonstrates how to create a status bar item with custom text and an icon.
const vscode = require('vscode');
function activate(context) {
let myStatusBarItem = vscode.window.createStatusBarItem(vscode.StatusBarAlignment.Right, 100);
myStatusBarItem.text = '$(beaker) My Extension';
myStatusBarItem.show();
context.subscriptions.push(myStatusBarItem);
}
exports.activate = activate;
Creating Webviews
This feature allows you to create webviews, which are custom HTML/CSS/JS-based views within VSCode. The code sample demonstrates how to create a simple webview that displays 'Hello from Webview'.
const vscode = require('vscode');
function activate(context) {
let disposable = vscode.commands.registerCommand('extension.openWebview', function () {
const panel = vscode.window.createWebviewPanel(
'webview',
'My Webview',
vscode.ViewColumn.One,
{}
);
panel.webview.html = getWebviewContent();
});
context.subscriptions.push(disposable);
}
function getWebviewContent() {
return `<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Webview</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello from Webview</h1>
</body>
</html>`;
}
exports.activate = activate;
The 'vscode' package provides the actual API for developing extensions for Visual Studio Code. It is the runtime library that works in conjunction with @types/vscode to provide the full development experience.
The 'vscode-languageclient' package is used to implement language servers in VSCode. It provides a higher-level API for integrating language servers with VSCode, making it easier to add language support to the editor.
The 'vscode-test' package provides utilities for testing VSCode extensions. It allows you to run integration tests for your extensions in a headless VSCode instance, ensuring that your extension works as expected.
