Contributing

After cloning the repository, from command prompt run:

npm install

Currently, you'll need to copy node_modules\cm-modules\findDefinition\out\variableFinder.js to out\node_modules\cm-modules\findDefinition. At some point I'll figure out a way to make this better, but for now this works.

If you don't have node installed, you'll need to install it from https://nodejs.org/en/download/. You can then open the folder in vscode by just typing code . You should be able to build and run the project by just hitting F5 within VSCode. It will launch a new "Extension Development" instance of VSCode, which will automatically run the compiled version of the extension over the one you have installed. See https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/extensions/overview for more information and API documentation.
