Cat Inspire

A VS Code extension that was inspired by Written Kitten. It retrieves cat pictures from The Cat API.

Commands

catInspire.start : Opens up a new panel where pictures of cats will be displayed.

Configuration

catInspire.validLanguages : Which languages should the extension count words for. Defaults to markdown and plaintext.

catInspire.wordsTillNextPicture : How many words need to be typed until the picture changes. Defaults to 100.

catInspire.catApiKey : By default the API allows anyone without a key to retrieve ten pictures for free. This could change in the future.

Acknowledgements

This extension would not have been made possible without the Cat Coding sample from the VS Code team.
