Development tips

Automatically recompile the extension

Use Typescript's watch to monitor all Typescript files and automatically recompile the extension:

npm run watch

Now you can use the vscode:open target to start the VSCode instance faster:

npm run vscode:open

Subsequent executions of npm run vscode:open will refresh the development instance.

Spawn via VSCode

You can also start up a VSCode instance via VSCode. This will allow you to debug into an extension.

1. Open VSCode
2. Open Folder (-> select "/client")
3. View -> Debug
4. Run "Launch Client"
5. Open up a directory with Storyscript files or create a new .story file
