VS Code Workspace Settings Overview

VS Code Workspace Settings Overview

The .vscode folder (link) within this repository contains workspace settings that are designed to assist developers utilizing the VS Code editor to develop for Caseflow. These workspace settings will override user settings, so it's best to only include configurations that will universally benefit all developers in these files.

Below is a breakdown of each of the files contained within the aforementioned folder.

extensions.json

Extensions listed within the recommendations array in this file will appear as recommendations to all VS Code users whenever they have the Caseflow repository open in their editors. Extension recommendations can be found in the Extensions tab in the Recommendations pane. Any extensions already installed are omitted.

Users will be asked if they'd like to install the recommended extensions:

Adding a New Recommendation

1. Copy the extension's ID:

2. Add it to the recommendations array in extensions.json:

3. Commit it to version control, and once it makes it into the master branch everyone will see your recommendation. 🎉
