State Switcher

A VS Code extension that adds a status bar button to cycle through configurable states and execute associated actions.

Features

• Status bar button with a colored dot (no text)
• Configurable states via VS Code settings
• Click to cycle through states in order
• Executes a bash command/script for each state transition
• Color changes based on current state (reverts on failure)
• Hover tooltip shows current active state name
• Defaults to grey when no states are defined

Configuration

Add states in your VS Code settings (settings.json):

{
  "stateSwitcher.states": [
    {
      "name": "Local",
      "color": "#008000",
      "action": "./scripts/local.sh"
    },
    {
      "name": "Staging",
      "color": "#FFA500",
      "action": "./scripts/staging.sh"
    },
    {
      "name": "Production",
      "color": "#FF0000",
      "action": "./scripts/prod.sh"
    }
  ]
}
