# VSCE Template Registry
[](https://github.com/vsce-templates/index/blob/main/index.yml)
[](LICENSE)
A public registry of scaffolding templates for building **Deno-native 🦕 ⚡ VSCode Extensions** with the [`vsce`](https://github.com/vsce-dev/cli) CLI.
---
## Table of Contents
- [Quick Start](#quick-start)
- [Template Manifest Schema](#template-manifest-schema)
- [Template Archive Requirements](#template-archive-requirements)
- [Adding a Template](#adding-a-template)
- [License](#license)
---
## Quick Start
```bash
# Install (or update) the CLI
deno install -A -f -q -n vsce jsr:@vsce/cli@latest
# List all community templates
vsce templates list
# Scaffold a new extension from the "react-panel" template
vsce create my-extension --template react-panel
```
By default, the CLI fetches:
[`https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cursor-ide/vsce-templates/refs/heads/main/index.yml`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cursor-ide/vsce-templates/refs/heads/main/index.yml').
You may override this via `vsce.yml`:
```yaml
templates:
registry: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cursor-ide/vsce-templates/refs/heads/main/index.yml',
cache: true,
verifyHash: true,
```
---
## Template Manifest Schema
The registry is a **single YAML array**; each element conforms to:
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|--------------|---------------------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `name` | `string` | ✔︎ | Unique identifier used with `--template ` |
| `description`| `string` | ✔︎ | Short human-readable summary |
| `url` | `string` (URL) | ✔︎ | HTTPS link to a `.zip` or `.tar.gz` archive of the template |
| `version` | `string` (semver) | ✖︎ | Latest released version of the template |
| `tags` | `string[]` | ✖︎ | Search/filter keywords (e.g. `["react","webview"]`) |
| `author` | `string` | ✖︎ | Template maintainer(s) |
| `license` | `string` | ✖︎ | SPDX license identifier |
| `homepage` | `string` (URL) | ✖︎ | Project URL or documentation |
| `sha256` | `string` | ✖︎ | SHA-256 checksum of the archive (integrity verification) |
> **Tip:** Use YAML schema validation tools to verify your entries before opening a PR.
---
## Template Archive Requirements
1. **Root directory** — When unpacked, the archive must contain a **single top-level folder** (same as `name`).
2. **No pre-installed dependencies** — Keep `node_modules` / `dist` out.
3. **`README.md`** explaining the template's features & instructions.
4. **License** — Each template must include a recognized open-source license file.
Optional niceties:
- `.vscode/launch.json` and `tasks.json` for a smoother dev experience.
- GitHub Actions or Deno workflows for CI testing the template itself.
---
## Adding a Template
1. Fork **this** repo and create a new branch.
2. Upload your template archive to a permanent location (GitHub Release asset, S3, etc.).
3. Append a new object to `index.yml` following the schema above.
4. Commit + push; ensure **CI** passes (lint & schema validation).
5. Open a Pull Request – please include:
- Link to source code
- Screenshots or GIF demo (if UI-focused)
- Any speciality permissions (`deno.json`), runtime requirements, etc.
Maintainers will review and merge once checks succeed.
Your template becomes instantly available to the community!
