Install VSCode extensions using winget configure file

[HeinvR]

Is it possible to install VSCode extensions using a YAML configure file?

ATM i'm installing my VSCode extensions using PS commands after running Winget configure. It would be great if i can somehow manage to put these in my YAML config file. Then i'm able to setup my whole dev environment using Winget configure only.

PS commands i currently use:
code --install-extension ms-azuretools.vscode-bicep --force
code --install-extension ms-vscode.PowerShell --force
code --install-extension ms-vscode.azure-account --force

vscode YAML config:
resources:
- resource: Microsoft.WinGet.DSC/WinGetPackage
directives:
module: Microsoft.WinGet.DSC
description: 'Install Microsoft Visual Studio Code'
allowPrerelease: true
settings:
id: Microsoft.VisualStudioCode
source: winget

It would be great if someone can point me to the right direction

The trick is finding the right DSC resource. Searching the PowerShell Gallery, I was able to find the vscode package. Once you import the module, you can use $(Get-DscResource).Where({$_.ModuleName -eq 'vscode'}) to see all the resources the module provides as well as what properties they accept.

Here's an example -

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://aka.ms/configuration-dsc-schema/0.2
# Reference: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli#building-the-client
properties:
  resources:
    - resource: vscode/VSCodeExtension
      directives:
        description: Install YAML Extension
        allowPrerelease: true
      settings:
        Name: redhat.vscode-yaml
        Ensure: Present
  configurationVersion: 0.2.0
