VSCode extension for ScanAPI IntelliSense

[barbosa]

Given that ScanAPI already has a predefined yml structure, we could have a VSCode extension that autocompletes keys (endpoints, method, path, etc) based on where you are in the spec tree.

This would require further investigation to see what can be achieved but the following links should give some clarity:

Hi,
I just develop a initial version with completion for all tags in the specification and snippets for custom vars and python code.
If you guys approve it, we'll have to create a new repo for the extension and an organization on Azure, to publish it to the marketplace.
You can view the code in my repo here, and download the preview release here since it's not yet published in the VSCode marketplace. 😄

Obs: In the future we can introduce more advanced features like linting, i think it would be awesome.

@abreumatheus What a great surprise for a Sunday morning!

@abreumatheus this looks good for a first version. Next version we can explore the other VSCode APIs. Very excited to see this progressing!

@camilamaia I can help you out if needed, creating the MS account. I had to go through the same process for Loadsmart's. Let me know.

@barbosa All help is welcome, it was the first time i tried to develop a VSCode extension, so there's a lot to learn. 😃

Very excited seeing this happening, @abreumatheus. Thank you so much for digging into their API! 💪

[camilamaia]

@abreumatheus wow, wow, wow! This is amazing 🚀 🤩 Thanks for that! I am super excited with it. Let me see to create the MS account

[abreumatheus]

@camilamaia Thanks! Don't forget the repo here on github, so i can push it there and we'll be able to start contributing 😃

[camilamaia]

@abreumatheus,

@barbosa and I just created the Microsoft Account and set the token in the secrets of the new repo. This way we can automatize the deploy: scanapi/vscode-extension#1

We also did a first release manually only for testing:

🎉🎉🎉

I am going to close this issue because now we can starting creating specific issues in the new repo.
