yaml-grid-viewer

Inspired and cloned from dutchigor:json-grid-viewer, this extension allows you get a better overview of the content in a YAML file by showing it in a resizable grid.

• Columns are resizable.
• Each object and array is collapsed by default but can be expanded to see all contents
• Arrays of objects show in a table format

Demo

Usage

To open a yaml file in the grid viewer, right click the file, select Open With... > YAML Grid. The grid is read only but will display any changes made to the yaml file live, provided the yaml is valid.

To do:

• Add editing capabilities
• Take colours from the active theme

Build Extension

npm install
npm run build
npm run vscode:prepublish
vsce package

Note:

• as of Node 20.5.1, consider "export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider" before run "npm build", to avoid "Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported".
• watchout .vscodeignore and use "vsce ls" to check files that will be included in the final package.
