GraphQL Unused VS Code Extension

This extension reuses the graphql-unused CLI and publishes unused GraphQL operations and fragments as VS Code diagnostics.

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Compile:

npm run compile

Bundle the local CLI into the extension workspace:

npm run bundle-cli

Bundle all currently supported packaged CLI payloads into the extension workspace:

npm run bundle-cli:all

Create a .vsix package:

npm run package:vsix

Run tests:

npm test

Install the VSIX locally

After packaging, install the generated .vsix in VS Code:

1. Open Extensions
2. Click the ... menu
3. Choose Install from VSIX...
4. Select the generated graphql-unused-vscode-<version>.vsix

Release workflow

Current packaging flow:

1. npm install
2. npm run compile
3. npm run bundle-cli:all
4. npm run package:vsix
5. Upload the generated .vsix to a GitHub release or distribute it directly

Notes:

• the packaged extension currently bundles darwin-arm64, darwin-x64, and linux-x64
• unsupported platforms can still use graphqlUnused.cliPath
• the extension can still fall back to graphqlUnused.cliPath or a local development CLI build at runtime

Runtime

The extension resolves the CLI in this order:

1. graphqlUnused.cliPath
2. bundled executable under bundled-cli/<platform>/bin/
3. local development build from ../build/install/graphql-unused/bin/
