# code2nix
A simple python script which downloads the latest versions of your currently installed vscode extensions and retrieves their metadata for declarative extensions via `extensionsFromVscodeMarketplace`.
Some future implementation details include:
- [ ] auto-updating produced expression
- [x] removing the json middleman (python -> nix)
- [x] parallelization (speeding up processing and downloads)
- [ ] version checking for compatibility
- [ ] reducing memory and network i/o requirements
## How to use?
The syntax for the command follows `main.py N {latest,current}`.
- **N** (default `nproc`): no. of concurrent extension downloads at a time
- **{latest,current}** (default `"current"`): whether to consider the currently installed version of an extension or simply pull from latest
> [!NOTE]
> Due to unfixable issues on my end, please note that trying to pull the latest versions will almost always be 2x longer.
> This is due to the fact that I have to download the vsix packages twice in order to guarantee consistency.
> See [the "rewrite" branch](https://github.com/Frontear/code2nix/tree/rewrite) for more details.
```console
$ python src/main.py $(nproc) latest > latest.nix # the latest versions of your extensions
$ python src/main.py $(nproc) current > current.nix # the current versions of your extensions
```
Import the file created from the above commands into your configurations.
