Features

IPM VS Code Settings

Multiple Package Manager locations defined in the users VS Code preferences (settings file).

IPM Activity Bar

A custom activity bar for dispaying the package managers

Listing of Packages

Displaying with action buttons packages that available from each configured IPM Url.

Action buttons for each package

Provides action buttons to copy the ZPM install command (to use in a IRIS terminal) and open repository for each package.

Requirements

This extension does not have any specific requirements for it to run outside of a IPM registry.

A soft requirement would be that you need a Intersystems IRIS or IRIS 4 Health environment with the IPM application installed.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• ipm.repositories: Array of objects that list each of the IPM registries that you would like to show in the activity explorer.

    "ipm.repositories": [
        {
            "name":"Community",
            "url":"https://pm.community.intersystems.com"
        }
    ]
