VS Code WebSocket Extension

This extension allows you to open prompt and alert popups in VS Code using websockets.

Features

• Show alert popup
• Show prompt popup

Recommended Usage

Use together with the vscode-websocket-alerts package.

const { alert, prompt } = require('vscode-websocket-alerts');

let x = prompt('Enter a number');
alert(`You entered: ${x}`);

Manual Usage

1. Install the extension.
2. Connect to the WebSocket server:

   const WebSocket = require('ws');
   
   // Connect to the WebSocket server
   const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8121');
   

3. Send a command when the connection is open:

   ws.on('open', () => {
       const alertMessage = { command: 'extension.showAlert', args: { message: 'Hello from Node.js!' } };
       ws.send(JSON.stringify(alertMessage));
   
       const promptMessage = {
           command: 'extension.showPrompt',
           args: {
               promptText: 'Please enter something:',
               callbackId: 1 // Assuming callback handling if needed
           }
       };
       ws.send(JSON.stringify(promptMessage));
   });
   

4. Handle responses from the WebSocket server:

   ws.on('message', (data) => {
       const response = JSON.parse(data);
       console.log('Response from VS Code extension:', response);
   });
   

5. Enjoy!
