ldproxy for VS Code

A VS Code extension that supports you in creating and editing ldproxy configurations.

Features

• Command Create new entities: provides a graphical wizard to automatically generate provider and service configurations from data sources.
• Command Create new values: provides a graphical wizard to automatically generate value configurations, currently only MapLibre styles.
• IntelliSense: shows available properties in YAML configuration files.
• Syntax checks: detects unknown or deprecated properties in YAML configuration files.
• Tooltips: shows documentation for properties in YAML configuration files.

Limitations

• The extension is not yet available for Windows, only MacOS and Linux are supported for now.
• The workspace root needs to be a ldproxy store directory for the extension to work properly. Parent directories that contain multiple store directories are not yet supported, and neither are multi-root workspaces.
• Tile Providers cannot be generated yet.

Usage

Open a ldproxy store directory in VS Code, for example by using File -> Open Folder or by calling code in a terminal. You can then start editing your files. Unknown or deprecated properties will automatically be marked in open files. Hovering over a property will show the documentation.

IntelliSense (autocompletion)

To get a list of all available properties in a certain place in a YAML configuration file, you can press Ctrl+Space. (It is called Trigger suggest in the command palette, which also shows the configured hotkey.) You can then use the cursor keys to navigate the suggestions and choose one with Enter. You might also start typing before or after triggering to narrow the suggestions.

Creating new entities

When you open the command palette and start typing ldproxy, the command ldproxy: Create new entities should appear at the top. Upon selecting, the graphical wizard will open in a new tab.

It allows you to automatically generate provider and service configurations from PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GeoPackage and WFS data sources.

Creating new values

When you open the command palette and start typing ldproxy, the command ldproxy: Create new values should appear near the top. Upon selecting, the graphical wizard will open in a new tab.

It currently only allows you to automatically generate a MapLibre style from a service configuration.
