Actually, with my VSCode extension is not supposed that you need to sync your code. It expects, that you have only one source of truth, your local sources. But if you can export any code from the server, it can be the same folder where your sources already placed or any others. Just use Export action in Context menu in Explorer, and it will export all your classes or routines.

When you try to open any file in explorer, and this class or routine you already have locally, it will show your local file instead of server's file. Just because it does not expects any difference, as I said your local sources have the privilege to be used first.

Any file opened from server will be shown in read-only mode.

What do you have already?

Did you configure ODBC DSN, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH?

Some information about configuring ODBC, you can find here.

First of all I think you need iODBC installed on your mac.

then ODBC Caché drivers, with correct environment variable DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, do not forget to relogin after the set variable.

As proof, that's possible to do it. Done with Caché 2018.1

USER>set desc = "Review symptoms to report with patient"                        

USER>set abbrv = ##class(%Regex.Matcher).%New("([^\ ]{2})[^\ ]*\ ?",desc).ReplaceAll("$1")

USER>write abbrv

I think the best solution would be to configure SSH server, so, you'll be able to use putty as well. If your server on Linux, it should be only SSH. With SSH your connection surely will be encrypted.

Look at this

Class User.Test
{

ClassMethod Test(Args...)
{
  ZWRITE Args
}

ClassMethod Test2(Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, Arg4, Arg5, Arg6, Arg7, Arg8)
{
  ZWRITE Arg1
  ZWRITE Arg2
  ZWRITE Arg3
  ZWRITE Arg4
  ZWRITE Arg5
  ZWRITE Arg6
  ZWRITE Arg7
  ZWRITE Arg8
}

}

and let's call it

USER>do ##class(Test).Test(1,2,,,,,,8)  
Args=8
Args(1)=1
Args(2)=2
Args(8)=8

and second method

USER>do ##class(Test).Test2(1,2,,,,,,8) 
Arg1=1
Arg2=2
Arg8=8

And another way 

USER>set args=8 ;just the number of the latest one                      

USER>set args(8)="test"

and calls

USER>do ##class(Test).Test(args...)
Args=8
Args(8)="test"

USER>do ##class(Test).Test2(args...)
Arg8="test"

What do you expect instead of "USER>", it is a session prompt, where you should put your commands. At this point, for me, it looks expectable.

1. What you did, to get it. Please add all your steps, so we can find what you did wrong.

2. IRIS container changed nothing what comes from base Ubuntu image. If you can install mc there it should be possible on IRIS as well. But I don't see any reasons, why mc should be available inside the container. And why you need it there?

So, you can convert $List to some kind of List in C?

$LIST is a very simple format, but you can't get any particular item just by position. You should go through the list from the first item.

In a simple explanation, it is just concatenation of individual $LIST. So, you can't say how many items you have until you go through this list and count them.

I have not played with C, yet. But I found CachePopList and CachePushList. have you tried to play with it? Looks like it may help you to order over $List.

It's really great news. And so cool that InterSystems started to participate more in developers conferences. I wish to participate all of them :)

Some time ago I did an example of Angular Application with IRIS on a backend.

Source for this project available on gitlab.

How to develop Angular application, you should look at angular documentation, and all about frontend development. There are some tools, which helps to develop and build your frontend side. Such as webpack, which do most of work related with build your sources to  production ready environment.

In my simple project, you need only docker, and any editor, preferable VSCode.

By command,  you will get a running server in development mode. So, you can edit Angular code, and IRIS code, and see an immediate result.

docker-compose up -d

And this project also deployable with Kubernetes. So, after any push of changes to gitlab, it will build, and test it.

node_modules, never goes to source control. It's enough to have package.json and package-lock.json there. node_modules may contain platform specific libraries.

Hope I will manage to write a complete article about this project, with all the details.

Sorry, usually I use it to add custom methods to properties. Did not not, that it doesn't work for such methods as Set/Get. But you can add any other method.

Why do not use PropertyClass, so, you can generate own getter and setter for any property in a class?
