VS Code intellisense for Espruino libs

Hi everyone,

Since I'm doing most of my development work for the Bangle in VS Code I would like to know if anyone has managed to integrate the Espruino libs into Code's intellisense. If yes, how did you do that?

Maybe it is possible to create the input from the source code.

The reference page is created via script from the source code using build_docs.py

Does this help at all? http://www.espruino.com/Typescript+and+Visual+Studio+Code+IDE

It came up earlier that it might be a bit out of date (and it's for Typescript) but it might be a way to get started.

The Espruino IDE uses Tern's type declaration format for its type info and docs: http://www.espruino.com/json/espruino.json

I'm not sure if something exists already, but if not it might make sense to try and write something that created Intellisense type info files from those, as I keep them up to date already for the IDE

The espruino.json should be a good starting point. I'll try to look into it, the coming weekend.

Didn't get to work on it yet. Also looks like I won't be for another few weeks :(

I use vs code for almost everything including web bluetooth development. I would be interested in using it for espruino. Do you have any template as a starting point? I would like to know how hard would it be to setup debugging for espruino in vs code. Let me know if you have that setup.
