The CLI commands require the Vercel CLI to be installed. You can still use this extension without it, however generally, this CLI creates the .vercel/project.json required for this extension to detect the current project.
Without the Vercel CLI installed globally (install with npm i -g vercel) the following commands will not work:
Run a development server through Vercel
Link current workspace to a Vercel project
Deploy working directory to Vercel
Features
Manage deployments in the activity panel
Add, edit, and remove environment variables without ever leaving VSCode!
Setup
This extension will automatically detect any project with a .vercel/project.json file in it and use the project id defined in that file. If you are unsure of where that file comes from, check out the Vercel CLI.
If you already have the Vercel CLI installed, run vercel link in your terminal or use the button on the side panel to connect to a Vercel project.
Run the Log in command to log into your vercel account.
Note: When using the CLI, you may need to log in a second time.
Extension Settings
This extension contributes the following settings:
vercel.RefreshRate: Number of minutes to wait between refreshes of Deployments and Environment. (Default 5 minutes)
vercel.DeploymentCount: Number of deployments to display from Vercel. (Default 20)
vercel.TeamDashboardURL: (For use with teams) The URL to append the project name to.
