  • vscode-extension-samples

    Sample code illustrating the VS Code extension API.

  • For my extension I wanted an experience similar to the Hashnode AI Editor, so adding commands to the VS Code command palette was not what I was after. What helped me here was the sample extensions directory on GitHub. Their code-actions sample was exactly what I had in mind (and it targets only the markdown files).

  • write-assist-ai

    OpenAI-powered Text Rewriter for VS Code. Works with Markdown, LaTeX and text files. Fully customizable through settings.

  • This was just a sneak peek of the extension I created. If interested, you can look at the complete source code of the extension here.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • yeoman

    Yeoman - a set of tools for automating development workflow

  • Before we can start building the extension, we need to gather and prepare the necessary tools. In this case, the needed tools are node, git, yeoman and generator-code. For a newcomer like myself, this basic tutorial is perfect. I recommend going through it to learn the fundamentals.
