Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

  • localPackageNavigator.fallbackToNavigate: Wheter or not to fallback to the default "Nagivate to Implementation" when trying to navigate to a non-external symbol.
  • localPackageNavigator.packages: Configure what packages to look for. Format is array of
{
    packageName: string, 
    localPath: string, 
    excludePaths?: string[]
}

where packageName is the name of the package, localPath is where on your computer you have the source code, and excludePaths is an optional array of paths relative to localPath. e.g.

[
    {
        "packageName": "@types/vscode", 
        "localPath": "C:/Example/vscodetypes", 
        "excludePaths": ["/tests"]
    }, 
    {
        "packageName": "@types/glob", 
        "localPath": "C:/Example/globtypes"
    }
].
