Extension Settings

Base extension settings is done in Preferences.
Project wide settings is currently done per project via ./vscode/ssjs-setup.json file which is automatically pre-generated on project setup.

Project Setup

You can start using this extension for basic features right away. However in order to use support for rapid Cloud-page development, you need to set Code Provider. Code Provider is a way in which this extension provides code to SFMC, so it can be run from there.

You can see a guide using SSJS: Show Setup Walkthrough command for the default functionality. It takes just five minutes.

• Asset Provider (default): uses API to deploy your script on demand or save.
• Server Provider: uses local web server that provides your scripts via HTTPS. Reverse tunneling tool required (NGROK, Expose...).
• None: disable code integration.

Setup Cheatsheet:

1. Run Create Config command withing VSCode to create your setup file (and store SFMC Credentials safely).
2. Finish setting up your setup file.
3. Run Deploy Dev Page command that will help you to deploy your Dev environment in Cloud Page.

On Asset Provider, the dev asset folder is created on the first script deployment. Run Upload Script command to deploy any ssjs, amp or html file.

For server provider:

1. Start command enables your local environment.
2. Make your environment accessible from internet (start your tunneling tool).

Development

Once your SSJS is Active and Cloud Page published, all you need to do is to open it. Open your Cloud Page or Text Resources.
Then append query parameters you get by running Get Dev PATH command.

Commands

To be run using Ctrl + Shift + P.

• SSJS: Show Setup Walkthrough - Shows a guide on how to setup the extension.
