Pull request overview
Adds a new top-level contributing guide under extensions/ to briefly document the expected structure of built-in extensions and the basic steps for making an extension web-enabled.
Changes:
- Introduces
extensions/CONTRIBUTING.mdwith a “typical” built-in extension folder layout. - Documents expected build outputs (
outvsdist). - Adds a short checklist for enabling browser/web support (
browserentry,tsconfig.browser.json,esbuild.browser.mts).
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)
extensions/CONTRIBUTING.md:18
- The stated output structure (
outfor dev,distfor production) isn’t universal across built-in extensions (e.g. declarative extensions don’t have either). Consider clarifying that this applies to TypeScript-based extensions built via the gulp/esbuild pipelines, and optionally mention howmain/browsertypically map toout/dist.
Extensions have the following output structure:
- `out`: Output directory for development builds
- `dist`: Output directory for production builds.
