VSConnect
VSConnect ("OSS - Connect") is the ultimate network client for VS Code. It provides an interface
similar to a command line where you can submit network requests and receive network responses. It
comes with basic industry-standard Protocols such as HTTP, WebSockets, and DNS, and it also provides
several extension points so you can add extra Protocols and Visualizers via separate VSCode extensions.
Features
- HTTP and DNS: Make REST calls, query for DNS records, and more!
- WebSockets: Connect to websocket endpoints and exchange frames!
- Scripting: Use JavaScript to compute values for your requests, even based on previous ones!
- Synergy: Well integrated with the things you love about VS Code, like text editing, themes and customizations!
Building
To build the extension:
npm install
npm run compile
And for dev testing you can run npm run watch
Either of these will create the necessary files in dist/. Use the launch configuration on VS Code
to execute the extension on the Extension Host.
Contribute
Contributions, PRs and issues welcome! For new protocols and visualizers, you can either contribute
them directly to this repo, or create a separate extension and use the commands provided to add them
to the VSConnect UI (TODO - not available yet, open an Issue if you are interested).
