My Marketplace

This is a VS Code extension to enable a view of private extensions and a means to install them.

This enables a directory-based or an API based sources to browse.

Sources

There are two types of sources that this can read:

• API source
• Directory source

Directory sources

These are local or accessible file-system directories. This looks at the file system and iterates through .vsix files in that directory attempting to extract the manifest to display. No versioning or anything is bundled here. It does not recurse directories

API sources

This relies on an acessible endpoint that conforms to the API schema that is expected. A copy of the OpenAPI spec is located in this repo at docs/swagger.json as to what is expected.

An example implemenation of a web app and API endpoint implemented in Blazor completely is available at timheuer/mymarketplace.

Credits

This was inspired by Prashant's https://github.com/prashantvc/extensions repository which is a React front-end application and I wanted to convert this completely to .NET and Blazor. All credit for the idea and functionality in the initial implementation goes to Prashant. I've selfishly forked the VS Code extension for various reasons but also originated with Prashant.
