Sherlock 🕵️‍♂️ recommendation package

Features

• Check for Existing Recommendations: Quickly verify if an extension is already recommended in the workspace's .vscode/extensions.json file.
• Add New Recommendations: Automatically add new recommendations to the .vscode/extensions.json file if they are not already present.

Installation

Put this one into your dependencies in package.json & install it with pnpm install:

"@inlang/recommend-sherlock": "workspace:*"

Usage

The module exports two main asynchronous functions:

shouldRecommend(fs: NodeishFilesystem, workingDirectory?: string): Promise<boolean>

Checks whether the inlang.vs-code-extension is recommended in the workspace.

Parameters

• fs: A NodeishFilesystem object to interact with the file system.
• workingDirectory: (Optional) The working directory path.

Returns

• Promise<boolean>: true if the extension is recommended, false otherwise.

add(fs: NodeishFilesystem, workingDirectory?: string): Promise<void>

Adds the inlang.vs-code-extension recommendation to the workspace if it's not already present.

Parameters

• fs: A NodeishFilesystem object to interact with the file system.
• workingDirectory: (Optional) The working directory path.

Example

import { shouldRecommend, add } from '@inlang/recommend-sherlock';
import { NodeishFilesystem } from '@lix-js/fs';

async function addSherlock(fs: NodeishFilesystem) {
  const isExtensionAdopted = await shouldRecommend(fs);

  if (!isExtensionAdopted) {
    // prompt for user confirmation
    const userConfirmed = await promptUser();

    if (userConfirmed) {
      await add(fs);
      console.log('Extension recommendation added.');
    } else {
      console.log('User declined to add extension recommendation.');
    }
  }
}
