Early access - Visual Studio Code extension!
-
Hi folks,
We are pleased to announce the Early Access availability of our new Visual Studio Code plug-in.
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=braincloud.vscode-bccfs
As you would expect, this plug-in enables developers to create and edit cloud code scripts directly from the comfort of their Visual Studio Code IDE.
Key capabilities:
- Connect to a Team; Switch Teams
- View all apps (that the developer has access to)
- View/edit/delete cloud code scripts of each app
- Create new scripts (script names must have an extension of .ccjs)
- Create new folders (folder names must be all lowercase)
- Supports Intellisense for brainCloud API
- Allows devs to edit the script metadata (example parameters, timeouts)
Integrating with Visual Studio Code enables developers to leverage the advanced capabilities of that IDE, such as refactoring and AI assistance! (Note - the AI suggestions aren't always right - but they will hopefully get better!)
Also note that the extension does not support running the scripts from the IDE. You still need the brainCloud Portal for that!
Key requirements:
- Public BaaS and/or Private instances supported
- For connecting to brainCloud Platform version 5.8 or higher
- Uses brainCloud SSO and our Builder API to establish an API connection.
- "Builder API Access" must be enabled from the Team > Setup > Team Info menu. Does NOT require Static API Keys.
- Developer must have write access to the App > Design > Cloud Code > Scripts page
Troubleshooting tips:
- If you get into a weird state, click on the brainCloud extension, expand the "Environment Info" section, and click "Reset Local State". Don't worry - it only affects the local IDE state. All your scripts on brainCloud are still saved - you'll need to log in again.
Anyway - give it a test run and let us know what you think!
Paul.
