Typed VSCode

Generate types from contribution points of your extension manifest

Note: this module is already bundled for vscode-framework

You can make your vscode extension codebase typed by automatically generating typescript types from these contribution points:

• commands list
• configuration

Add to Your Project

npm i typed-vscode -D

generate command

You can also manually generate (or regenerate) types.

Flags:

• --out Output file, default: src/generated.ts
• --target

target	description
native	(default) Generates types with @types/vscode (augments module)
bare	Generates only plain exported types (no augmentation)

• trimIds: wether to trim id part from contribution IDs = false (not applicable to native target)

Note: vscode-framework has its own command: vscode-framework generate

Example: typed-vscode --out extension/types.ts

postinstallGenerateTypes in package.json

postinstallGenerateTypes long property of package.json can be set to false to disable generating types after installation

Config

We are using cosmiconfig to find your config files, also config values are merged from CLI.

Example config in package.json to override output file path:

{
    "typed-vscode": {
        "target": "bare",
        "out": "extension/types.ts"
    }
}

Also the same config values are merged from cli (see example above)
