@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.

What are @types/vscode's main functionalities?

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;
