vscode-init-script

Because sometimes you just want to configure your text editor with a script.

About

This extension looks for a file called init.js or init.ts in your <code-config-path>/User folder, compiles it if it's a TypeScript file, and then loads it.

It expects your init script to export a function init(context: vscode.ExtensionContext), which it will then invoke. From here, you're free to interact with your Code instance through the extension API.

You can configure the location of your init script with the init-script.path setting. It will be relative to your user config folder (~/.config/Code/User or something similar but platform dependent), unless you give an absolute path, which can start with ~ to refer to your home directory. It should be the path to a CommonJS/ES6 module, which means it should not have a file extension. The default is, simply, init. It will prefer .ts to .js if it finds both.

Example

Here is a minimal example of what your init.ts script might look like:

import * as vscode from "vscode";

export function init(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) {
    const config = vscode.workspace.getConfiguration();
    config.update("workbench.editor.showTabs", false, vscode.ConfigurationTarget.Global);
    config.update("editor.minimap.enabled", false, vscode.ConfigurationTarget.Global);
}
