Visual Studio Code Templates or Wizards

Question

David E Nelson · Sep 30, 2020

Hi,

In Atelier I can click File --> New --> Class File, and File --> New --> Custom File etc to launch various wizards and templates to help me quickly create DeepSee KPI classes, %Installer manifests, Web Services and the like. Of course, all these are available through Studio as well. Is there anything similar in VSCode? If so where? I've looked at several videos and the documentation, but I haven't seen anything.

Thanks!

David

Many code snippets exist for ObjectScript already. You can learn how they work in the VS Code docs here. And if you're comfortable reading JSON, you can then go and see what's already implemented in the ObjectScript extension in this JSON file. If you don't find what you're looking for, I hope you'll consider building some of your favorites and submitting a pull request!

I see. What were called templates and wizards in the other IDEs are "snippets" in VSCode.

Thank you!

Code Snippets do part of the job; for other things (e.g., SOAP Wizard), see @Patrick Newton 's comment on https://github.com/intersystems-community/vscode-objectscript/issues/325 - there is planned support for these.
