# [Fauna extension for VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=fauna.fauna)
Source code for the [Fauna VS Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=fauna.fauna).
This [extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=fauna.fauna) allows users to view individual Fauna databases and run [FQL queries](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/api/fql/) directly inside VS Code.
**Note: This extension does not yet support auto-complete, which is planned for a future release. Alternatively, please feel free to submit a PR to help out!**
## Getting started
### Prerequisites
1. Create a [Fauna account](https://dashboard.fauna.com/accounts/register)
2. Install [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/Download)
3. Install the [Fauna extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=fauna.fauna) in VS Code.
### 1. Set your secret key
You can persist a Fauna secret using either a `.faunarc` file in your project or using the settings in the VS Code IDE.
Persisting a secret in VS Code settings sets the key at a global level for all projects. A project can override the global key by including a `.faunarc` config file in the root of the project.
#### Using a `.faunarc` file for a project
1. **IMPORTANT:** Add `.faunarc` to your `.gitignore`.
2. Create a file `.faunarc` in your project root folder.
3. Add `FAUNA_KEY=your-secret-key` to the `.faunarc` file.
Additionally, the config file supports these optional parameters:
```
FAUNA_DOMAIN=db.fauna.com
FAUNA_SCHEME=https
FAUNA_PORT=443
FAUNA_GRAPHQL_HOST=https://graphql.fauna.com
```
#### Using VS Code to store a database key
1. The VS Code extension allows you to work in the context of a single database, for which you need to provide a key. You can do this by generating a key with the "admin" role from the database "Security" tab in the Fauna Dashboard.
> Note that you'll need to update the Fauna domain in the extension settings (or `.faunarc` file) as needed to match the database Region Group; see [the Region Group documentation](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/learn/understanding/region_groups#how-to-use-region-groups) for more details.
2. Copy the secret and paste it in the Fauna extension settings. You can find the Fauna extension settings by either:
- Selecting `View > Extensions` to open the Extensions pane, scrolling down in the list of installed extensions until you see Fauna, then clicking the cog icon in the lower right to open the extension settings.
- Selecting `Code > Preferences > Settings > Extensions > Fauna` from the VS Code menu.
3. Restart VS Code after setting or changing your secret.
- `fauna.adminSecretKey`: The secret for a specific database.
- `fauna.domain`: The Fauna domain for the database [Region Group](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/learn/understanding/region_groups#how-to-use-region-groups) or `localhost` when using a local Fauna Dev Docker instance.
- `fauna.scheme`: One of `https` or `http`. Only set to `http` when using a local Fauna Dev Docker instance.
- `fauna.port`: The port number for the Fauna endpoint. When using a Fauna Dev Docker instance, use the port passed to the `docker run` command - usually `8443`.
- `fauna.graphqlHost`: The full URL for the Fauna GraphQL API. The default is `https://graphql.fauna.com`. See [GraphQL Endpoints](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/api/graphql/endpoints) for Region Group-specific URLs.
> **WARNING**: Be careful! To avoid exposing this secret, do not commit it to your local `.vscode` configuration.
### 2. Browse database
1. Click on the Fauna bird icon in the Activity bar on the far left. If you do not see the Activity Bar, select `View > Appearance > Show Activity Bar` from the VS Code menu.
2. You should see a pane listing all of the database contents, which includes child databases, indexes, collections, documents, and functions.
**Note: Browsing is read-only at this time, but you can edit all of your data by running queries (see next section).**
### 3. Run queries
1. If you are on a Mac, open the command palette with the keyboard shortcut `Cmd` + `Shift` + `P`. If you are on a PC, use `Ctrl` + `Shift` + `P`.
2. Create a new file from which to run your [FQL queries](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/api/fql/) by either:
- Typing `Fauna: Create query` to select that command from the command palette dropdown menu. This opens a new tab with the `Paginate(Collections())` query already included.
- Creating a new file with the `.fql` file extension.
3. Open the command palette again using `Cmd` + `Shift` + `P`, but this time start typing `Fauna: Run query` to select that command from the dropdown menu.
4. The Output panel should open from the bottom of the VS Code window and display the query results.
5. If your file contains multiple FQL expressions, you can trigger them individually by highlighting the expression you want to execute.
### 4. Upload GraphQL Schema
1. Open a `.graphql` or `.gql` file containing your GraphQL schema as described in the [Fauna specification](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/api/graphql).
2. If you are on a Mac, open the command palette with the keyboard shortcut `Cmd` + `Shift` + `P`. If you are on a PC, use `Ctrl` + `Shift` + `P`.
3. Fauna provides commands for uploading schemas, depending on [modes](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/api/graphql/endpoints#modes):
- Enter `Fauna: Upload GraphQL Schema` to upload in the default `merge` mode.
- Enter `Fauna: Merge GraphQL Schema` to explicitly upload in `merge` mode.
- Enter `Fauna: Override GraphQL Schema` to upload in `override` mode.
> **WARNING**: `override` mode causes data loss for any previous GraphQL schema. Collections, indexes, or documents that are not involved in GraphQL are not affected.
