# Azure Resource Explorer as a VsCode extension

Combined power of [Azure Portal's Resource Explorer](https://portal.azure.com/#view/HubsExtension/ArmExplorerBlade) and [https://resources.azure.com](https://resources.azure.com) in your VsCode.

[](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=az-resource-explorer-vscode.azure-resource-explorer-for-vscode)

## How to install

Install it from [VsCode marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=az-resource-explorer-vscode.azure-resource-explorer-for-vscode). 

## How to use

Once installed, a new `RESOURCE EXPLORER` view should appear on the `AZURE` tab:

  

It will show a tree of all Azure resources visible to you (so long as you're signed in into Azure), organized by resource providers or by subscriptions/resource groups.

Clicking on a resource node downloads and shows resource's template as JSON.

That ARM template is *editable*. Make changes to it and press `Save` - and you will be prompted to confirm that you want your changes to be applied. Just make sure you know what you're doing.




Alternatively use `Apply JSON from current file to this resource...` command to apply arbitrary JSON to a resource.

E.g. here is how to modify app settings for an Azure App Service instance:

  

  

  










Also you can open your resource as Bicep (instead of an ARM template):

  

(for that to work you need to have Azure CLI installed)




Last but not least is this `Copy access token to Clipboard` button:



Use it to quickly get an ARM-scoped access token and then make your own requests e.g. via Postman.

## How to compile and run

**azure-resource-explorer-vscode** is a typical [VsCode extension](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/get-started/your-first-extension), so to run these sources you need to:

1. Clone this repo.

2. Open the root folder with VsCode.

3. Do `npm install`.

4. Hit F5.
