Code Submit Extension

🚀 Code Submit is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows users to submit their code to a local or remote server directly from the editor. It provides an easy-to-use status bar button and a command to send the currently open file's content to a configured API endpoint.

🔘 Status Bar Button: Click the Submit Code button in the VS Code status bar for quick access.

⚙️ Configurable API Endpoint: Users can change the API address in VS Code settings.

🎡 Supports Any Server: Works with any API that accepts file submissions.

📌 How to Install

🚀 How to Use

Option 1:

⚙️ Configuring the API Endpoint

By default, the extension sends requests to: http://localhost:3000/api/submit

If your server has a different address, you can update it in VS Code settings:

• Open File → Preferences → Settings (Ctrl + ,).

• Search for "Code Submit API Address".

• Update it with your server's API address.

• Alternatively, edit settings.json manually:

  {

  "codeSubmit.apiAddress": "http://your-server-ip:5000/api/submit"

  }

🖥️ API Requirements

Your server should accept a POST request at the configured API address with the following JSON payload:

{

  "fileName": "example.py",

  "code": "print('Hello, World!')"

}

It should return a JSON response:

{

  "message": "Code received successfully!"

}

🔧 Troubleshooting

• No active editor found! → Open a file before running the command.
• Error submitting code → Check if your server is running and the API address is correct.
• Status bar button is missing → Try restarting VS Code.
