Installation
Edge actions use WSL 2 and dev container with Docker for desktop to enable access to CLI and local sandbox for testing the code before deploying it to production. Follow the instructions below to enable dev containers.
Verify WSL integration by navigating to Settings -> Resources -> WSL Integration and ensure the option ‘Enable integration with my default WSL distro’ is enabled
Press F1 or Ctrl+Shift+P to open the command palette.
Type or Select >Dev Containers: Reopen in Container (If you don’t see this option, use either >Dev Containers: Open Folder in Container OR >Dev Containers: Open Workspace in Container option to open the folder/workspace as needed)
Choose whether you want to Add configuration to workspace or Add configuration to user data folder
In the templates selection, enter ghcr.io/Azure/edgeactions-devcontainers/edgeactions into the textbox as the custom template id and click the template name. You will see a ‘OK’ option next to the text box.
Wait for the container to build. This should take care of installing the Edge Actions extension as well.
Once the container is built, the repository opens in the dev container.
Right click in the dev container folder structure space to view the context menu, select ‘Edge Actions’ at the bottom and the option ‘New EdgeAction’ to provide a name your edge action and to load the template files.
