Elm Watchtower

Development Installation

First, run yarn install and yarn build.

Then, you might be able to use VSCode's fancy Development Extension Host by pressing f5.

If that doesn't work (like it didn't for me), you can install the extension locally by making a symlink to the proper folder. For me that meant running:

ln -s $PWD ~/.vscode/extensions/mgriff.elm-watchtower-0.0.1

Then reload VSCode in the window you want to develop in via Cmd + R

Developing

• run yarn watch.
• When you change the code, you can reload the extension in VSCode by running Cmd + R

Overview of code

• extension.ts - Code for registering the VSCode plugin.
• watchtower.ts - The main content of the extension.
• watchtower/question.ts - Helpers for constructing messages for the watchtower server.
