VS Code Extension Samples

This repository contains sample code illustrating the VS Code extension API. Each sample is a self-contained extension that explains one topic in VS Code API or VS Code's Contribution Points. You can read, play with or adapt from these samples to create your own extensions.

You can expect from each sample:

• An explanation of its functionality
• A gif or screenshot demonstrating its usage
• Link to a guide on VS Code website, if it has one
• Listing of used VS Code API and Contribution Points
• Code of the same style, enforced using TSLint and Prettier
