Dynamic Inputs (Visual Studio Code)

This extension lets you populate a dynamic list of options from which you can pick a value during debugging or running tasks.

Features

  • Supports multi value selection
  • Supports other script languages (bash, python, nodejs etc.)
  • Supports memoization of the parameter using var parameter in args and dynamic-inputs.read command
  • Supports remap options to values by using unwrap
  • Supports params serializations via serializer option with the following value: json or plain (will pass multiple selections with a space delimiter)

Commands

  • dynamic-inputs.read - attempts to read from memory or shows a selection list
  • dynamic-inputs.write - always offers to a selection and saves the selection to the memory if args.var is given
