OPACC WAS Link Extension
Hi fellow dev! 🙋🏼♀️
Just a small Visual Studio Code extension to creates clickable links in OPACC WAS .lc (Level Component) files, making navigation to configuration files quick and effortless.
Live is hard sometimes but this extension should make our job a tiny bit easier 😊
What does it do?
This little helper automatically turns file references in .lc files into clickable links. No more copy-pasting filenames or digging through folders!
Supports:
.oc files (Object Component) → config/oc/.rd files (Request Definition) → config/rd/.cc files (Controller Component) → config/cc/
How to use it
Clickable Links in .lc files:
Just open any .lc file in your webportal and voilà! File names in the pipe-delimited format automatically become clickable:
LC|1|MODULE-Filename.oc||MODULE-Filename.rd||||||||MODULE-Filename.cc
Click on MODULE-Filename.oc and it'll jump straight to the file. 💁🏼♀️
Navigate Between Linked Files (Ctrl+Shift+L):
Working on a .oc, .rd, or .cc file and want to jump to a linked file? Press Ctrl+Shift+L to quickly jump to sibling files on the same LC level!
Example:
- You're editing
ARTICLE-List.rd
- Press
Ctrl+Shift+L
- See all linked files:
ARTICLE-List-Horizontal.oc, ARTICLE-List-Vertical.oc
- Select one and jump right to it!
When multiple files are found, a quick pick menu shows:
- File name
- Which
.lc file(s) contain the link
- The LC level(s) where they're linked
Setup
- Install the extension
- Open your OPACC WAS project
- That's it! No config needed
Your project should look something like this:
webportal/
├── config/
│ ├── lc/ (Level Component files)
│ ├── oc/ (Object Component files)
│ ├── rd/ (Request Definition files)
│ └── cc/ (Controller Component files)
Further Ideas for this extension
- create links for gFunctions like gCreateURL, gGenerateURL, gGetPartial
