Project Workspace Manager

This is a VS Code extension for managing and switching between project workspaces.

Features

  • Quickly switch between different projects
  • Automatically save and restore project workspace states
  • Support for multi-folder project configurations
  • Intuitive status bar display

Architecture

This plugin has been optimized with a modular design, primarily consisting of the following components:

1. Models (Data Models)

  • Project: Defines the data structure for projects

2. Services (Business Logic)

  • ProjectService: Handles project-related business logic, such as setting the current project, restoring project state, and opening projects

3. UI (User Interface)

  • StatusBarManager: Manages the display and updates of status bar items
  • ProjectSelector: Provides the project selector interface

4. Utils (Utility Functions)

  • workspaceUtils: Handles reading and writing of workspace files
  • projectUtils: Provides project-related utility functions

Configuration

The extension uses a work.code-workspace file to manage projects. Here's an example configuration:

{
    "folders": [
        {
            "name": "workspace",
            "path": "./"
        }
    ],
    "settings": {
        "editor.fontSize": 14
    },
    "projectManager.projectList": {
        "project1": {
            "description": "project1 description",
            "folders": [
                {
                    "name": "project1",
                    "path": "/root/work/project1"
                }
            ],
            "settings": {
                "editor.fontSize": 14
            }
        },
        "project2": {
            "description": "project2 description",
            "folders": [
                {
                    "name": "project2 main",
                    "path": "/root/work/project2"
                },
                {
                    "name": "project2 verification",
                    "path": "/root/work/project2/verification"
                }
            ]
        }
    },
    "projectManager.workspacePath": "/root/work/workspace/work.code-workspace"
}

In this configuration:

  • folders: Standard VS Code workspace folders
  • projectManager.projectList: Custom project definitions that can be quickly switched to
  • projectManager.workspacePath: Path to the workspace file (optional)

Each project in projectManager.projectList can define:

  • description: A description of the project
  • folders: An array of folder objects with name and path
  • settings: Project-specific settings (optional)
