About

Create vscode extensions with python.

Installation

Stable version:

pip install vscode-ext

Why use this?

Why should you use this for building VScode extensions when you can use typescript? Here are some reasons:

  • vscode-ext builds the package.json for you! No need to switch between your extension.py and package.json in order to add commands. It also handles adding Activity Bars, Keybinds and Views.
  • vscode-ext provides a more pythonic way of creating the extension. Python also has some powerful modules that Javascript doesn't and you can include these with vscode-ext
  • vscode-ext extensions work perfectly with vsce and you can publish your extensions just like you would publish any other extension.

Example Extension

import vscode

ext = vscode.Extension(name = "testpy", display_name = "Test Py", version = "0.0.1")

@ext.event
def on_activate():
    return f"The Extension '{ext.name}' has started"

@ext.command()
def hello_world():
    vscode.window.show_info_message(f'Hello World from {ext.name}')

@ext.command()
def ask_question():
    res = vscode.window.show_info_message('How are you?', 'Great', 'Meh')
    if res == "Great":
        vscode.window.show_info_message('Woah nice!!')
    elif res == "Meh":
        vscode.window.show_info_message('Sorry to hear that :(')

vscode.build(ext)
