MarketVSX
A bridge between vscode marketplace and open-vsx
#
## What does this extension do?
This extension adds a button next to an extension on https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/ that will either send the user to open-vsx, if the extension is available there, or download its .vsix file.
#
## Thinking ahead
One important thing this extension ensures is that it will keep on working even if they decide to change all ID and class names.
There are 3 possible locations for the button:
- Next to the extension name
- Below the extension image
- Floating at the top of body
The order of them is based on how unique their ID/Classes are. The default location is the first, if that's not available, it will move to the second and the third acts as a catch-all.
Another important thing is when the extension is *not* available on open-vsx, the button will download the .vsix file. However it "clicks" the already available button on the site. If that's not available though, it will manually create the direct link.
> Note: the direct link will be missing the .vsix extension at the end. Users need to add it themselves.
