Settings

Extension Settings

Generic extension settings is available in Preferences.
Project wide settings is done per project via ./vscode/ssjs-setup.json file which is automatically generated on project setup (Create Config command).

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 must install connection to SFMC. This connection consists of Installed Package, Cloud Page & Text Resource.

You can see a guide using the new SSJS: Show Config command for interactive config or SSJS: Show Setup Walkthrough command for setup guide.

Development

Once your SSJS is Active and Cloud Page published, all you need to do is to open it.
SSJS: Get Dev Path command will give you the details.

Commands

To be run using Ctrl + Shift + P (Win) / CMD + Shift + P (Mac) / F1.

• SSJS: Show Config - Shows an UI guide which lets you set the extension.
• SSJS: Show Setup Walkthrough - Shows a guide on how to setup the extension.
• SSJS: Production deployment - Uploads the script to given SFMC resource - currently to Clipboard only.

Hooks

This option allows setting on-save hooks for files so you can run specific commands on save (and before sending scripts to SFMC). E.g.:

// .vscode/ssjs-setup.json:
{
	// ...
	"hooks": {
		"on-save": {
			".js": {
				"enabled": true, 											// is hook enabled?
				"command": "npm run build", 					// command to run
				"success-handling": "upload-self",		// "upload-self", "upload-output", "none"
				"output-file": "./dist/{{name}}.ssjs" // path to deploy, from workspace root
			}
		}
	}
}
