install-vscode-extensions

Simple binary that installs vscode extentions

Install

npm install --save-dev install-vscode-extensions

yarn add --dev install-vscode-extensions

Usage

The intended use for this is as a setup script when preparing a development environment. Add a postinstall or prepare script that runs install-vscode-extensions (or ive) and your (VSCode)development environment will be ready to go:

{
  "name": "my-awesome-package",
  "scripts": {
    "prepare": "install-vscode-extensions"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "install-vscode-extensions": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

install-vscode-extensions will find the .vscode folder in the current working directory, load the extensions.json file, and run code --install-package ${package} for each recommended package.

Now VSCode extensions that your package recommends are installed automatically when new developers run npm install or yarn.
