> Any good primers on making plugins for vsCode, besides their own docs?
@User @User Yes, I just started poking at VS Code about a month ago.
I found their documentation of their API pretty lacking, and a bit buried, to be quite honest. Most helpful was @User's recommendation of a few plugins that implement some sound org patterns, for example GitLens (which is very well organized).
Mostly, I dove in by picking a small task and implementing it over a weekend. I chose to implement the 10k-ft-view equivalent of Dendron's Lookup functionality: ask a provider (I implemented three, once using VSCode's exposed file-system hooks, one using the 'fs' module, and another using ripgrep) for a collection of notes, and create a custom quickPicker to fuzzy search or allow the option to create a new one if there is no exact match.
This is a great reminder that I didn't push the source for this. Will do this weekend and paste here for you in case it's helpful.
