Announcement John Murray · Dec 16, 2024 Doxygenerate - a new tool for building standalone documentation of your IRIS application's object model The InterSystems platforms have always offered dynamic documentation of the packages and classes in a namespace, a feature known informally as Documatic. But what if you need to publish this class reference information on a website without requiring the site to be connected to an IRIS server containing the actual classes? #Development Environment #Object Data Model #ObjectScript #Tools #InterSystems IRIS #InterSystems IRIS for Health #Documentation Open Exchange app 3 1 1 146

Announcement John Murray · Oct 4, 2024 Since VS Code 1.94 the Explorer's Find widget (Ctrl+Alt+F) on server-side (isfs) folders requires v2.12.9-beta.4 or later with proposed APIs enabled This is a consequence of work being done by the VS Code team to improve Find in Explorer. Symptoms without proposed APIs: Note the continual clock badge and progress bar. #VSCode #Other 2 1 0 114
Announcement John Murray · Sep 29, 2024 IPM in VS Code now works for devs who target a Docker container to compile and run their local sources If you are using the client-side development paradigm (i.e. editing code in local files that get imported and compiled onto the IRIS server your `objectscript.conn` settings point to) you can now use IPM in VS Code to manage the packages in your IRIS target by launching it from the Explorer view. #InterSystems Package Manager (IPM) #Tools #VSCode #HealthShare #InterSystems IRIS #InterSystems IRIS for Health Open Exchange app 1 0 0 95

Announcement John Murray · Oct 9, 2023 The leading bookmark extension for VS Code now works with server-side editing workspaces Until a couple of days ago the most downloaded bookmark extension for VS Code, Bookmarks by Alessandro Fragnani, wasn't able to handle the isfs file references that the InterSystems ObjectScript extension uses when you are operating in a Studio-like way and editing classes & routines directly in a namespace. #VSCode 2 1 0 241
Announcement John Murray · Jun 29, 2023 Share VS Code snippets as IPM / ZPM packages VS Code has a powerful snippets capability, and its Marketplace offers a way for developers to publish their snippets so others can use them. However, publishing on Marketplace takes some effort and snippets targeting InterSystems coders will realistically only be of interest to a very small number of Marketplace visitors. #Contest #VSCode Open Exchange app 3 5 0 366
Announcement John Murray · Jun 4, 2023 Announcing Jupyter Server Proxy for VS Code For several years now Visual Studio Code has supported the notebook coding paradigm with a maturing UX and an API that is enabling a notebook extensions ecosystem to grow. One of the best-known notebook platforms is Jupyter Notebooks. A Microsoft team publishes an extension that allows VS Code to handle .ipynb notebook files. These can either work against a local Python environment or connect to a Jupyter Server, which typically hosts remote Python environments with beefier resources. What if your InterSystems IRIS environments, whether local on your workstation or remote in your organization / cloud, could operate as Jupyter Servers? And not only for Embedded Python but also for ObjectScript and SQL "If we build it, will they come?" #Development Environment #Embedded Python #Machine Learning (ML) #Tools #InterSystems Ideas Portal #InterSystems IRIS #VSCode Open Exchange app 6 5 2 824

Announcement John Murray · Apr 21, 2023 Upcoming VS Code enhancement improves gj :: codeSpex experience Our gj :: codeSpex extension for VS Code, which is part of the DX Jetpack, allows documentation to be displayed inline while you are coding classes.
