## VS Code API

### `vscode` module

- [`languages.registerCallHierarchyProvider`](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#languages.registerCallHierarchyProvider)

## Running the Sample

Start the extension in the debugger and it automatically opens a file that is ready for the right-click > Peek Call Hierarchy. Otherwise, it can be testing by creating a file with extension `.txt` and pasting following text:

```plaintext
Coyote eats deer.
Deer eats plants.
Coyote eats lizard.
Lizard eats bird.
Lizard eats frog.
Lizard eats butterfly.
Bird eats seeds.
Frog eats insects.
Butterfly eats fruit.
```

Right click on a noun or a verb and select _Peek Call Hierarchy_.
