### ๐Ÿ“Œ Notes

Visual Studio Code supports a wide range of extensions that can enhance your development experience in various ways. While this boilerplate is specifically tailored for creating `VSCode snippets`, it's important to note that there are several other types of extensions you can develop, such as language support, debugging tools, extension pack and more ... If you're interested in creating a different type of extension, you might need to adjust the template provided in this boilerplate. This could involve changing the `package.json` file, modifying source code to implement the desired functionality, and potentially adding new dependencies or scripts to your project.

> For more information, you can refer to the [VSCode Extension API](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/get-started/your-first-extension).

### ๐Ÿ“Œ Usage

To use this template, use the following commands:

```bash
bun create github.com/RajaRakoto/vscode-boilerplate
cd
bun run pkg-upgrade # to upgrade outdated dependencies in interactive mode
```

> NOTE 2: In order to help you better understand the structure of this boilerplate, there is a `README.md` file in each subdirectory of src.

> NOTE 3: For certain configurations in the `package.json` file, you need to modify them to tailor them to your project (e.g: name, description, author, keywords, main, repository, ...).

### ๐Ÿ“Œ NPM Scripts

**Util**

- ๐Ÿ“œ `es6` - To get all ES6 modules syntax from the source directory

**Clean**

- ๐Ÿ“œ `clean` - Remove coverage data, prod, build.

**Build**

- ๐Ÿ“œ `build` - Run the build.js script and utilize vsce to generate the vsix file for production

**Testing**

- ๐Ÿ“œ `test` - Run unit testing with Bun.js.

**Linting and Formatting**

- ๐Ÿ“œ `biome:start` - Starts the Biome daemon server. You can specify a custom configuration file path using the `--config-path` option.
- ๐Ÿ“œ `biome:stop` - Stops the Biome daemon server.
- ๐Ÿ“œ `biome:fix` - Runs a source code check and applies automatic fixes (linter & formatter) according to the defined rules.
- ๐Ÿ“œ `biome:unsafe` - Works like `biome:fix`, but may apply more invasive or risky changes.

**Backup and Dependency Management**

- ๐Ÿ“œ `backup` - Backup files with Grunt.
- ๐Ÿ“œ `pkg-check` - Check useless dependencies with depcheck.
- ๐Ÿ“œ `pkg-upgrade` - Upgrade outdated dependencies (interactive mode) with npm-check-updates.

**Versioning**

- ๐Ÿ“œ `versioning` - Start ungit server.

**NPM Commands**

- ๐Ÿ“œ `npm-version:major` - Increments the major version number of your project using npm.
- ๐Ÿ“œ `npm-version:minor` - Increments the minor version number of your project using npm.
- ๐Ÿ“œ `npm-version:patch` - Increments the version patch number of your project using npm.

**NVM**

- ๐Ÿ“œ `nvm` - Manage multiple node.js versions. Easily switch between node versions per project to ensure compatibility.
