[L2D] is a VSCode extension which provides the ability for your files and codebase to be linked with documentation.
Based on your file name or file path segment you can provide links on File level
Image #1
This can be achieved through the following configuration l2d.config.json
Image #2
App.vue works as a filepath matcher
link is the external url which will be redirected if the lens indication is clicked
description is the string that will be included on the lens like # L2D: {description} # as shown on the first image (Image #1)
Configuration requirements and breakdown
Requirements
The configuration file must be at the top project level and should be named l2d.config.json.
Breakdown
The following image represents a l2d configuration file
Image #3
Lines 2-4 are metadata information for the configuration.
The version key hold information about the configuration schema. When more schemas are available you will be requested to provide the config schema version here.
Lines 5-38 contains the elements that the extension needs to work with
On lines 6 and 20 we use language identifiers that are being used from VSCode to identify the files where we want to apply the lensing
Filepath segments >> On lines 7 and 21 accordingly are being used to declare filename segments inside. Lenses on file level will appear above line 1.
Single filename example: Line 8 a filepath that contains App.vue will add a lens with # L2D: Create Vue App # and will redirect to the given link.
Files under a certain path example: Line 22 a filepath that contains src/store/modules will add a lens with # L2D: VueX # and will redirect to the given link. (Eg for a set of files that implement VueX)
Partial filename example: Line 26 a filepath that contains .spec.js will add a lens with # L2D: Vue Unit Testing Guide # and will redirect to the given link.
Document segments >> On lines 13 and 31 accordingly documentSegments includes document level occurences that will trigger L2D lensing. Document segment lenses will appear above the first line of occurence.
Example: Line 32 a document that includes describe( will add a lens with # L2D: describe grouping function # above the first occurence of the provided matching text and will redirect to the given link.
