Blueprint Integration into VS Code as an Extension

[Gusarich]

Summary

The primary objective of this Footstep is to develop a comprehensive Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension that seamlessly integrates with the Blueprint SDK, elevating the smart contract development experience to new heights.

Context

Blueprint already offers a user-friendly command-line interface, making smart contract development a relatively straightforward process. However, by creating a dedicated extension for VS Code, we can further streamline and expedite the entire development and testing workflow.

Goals

• Enhanced Smart Contract Development: The main focus is to empower developers with a powerful and intuitive toolset, promoting efficient and error-free coding.
• Accelerated Development and Testing: By providing a versatile and feature-rich VS Code extension, we aim to significantly reduce the time required for developing and thoroughly testing smart contracts.

Deliverables

• The primary deliverable of this Footstep will be a fully functional and polished VS Code extension that seamlessly integrates with Blueprint, unlocking a host of advanced features and functionalities within the familiar development environment.

Definition of Done

• The VS Code extension is meticulously developed, ensuring a smooth and seamless integration with the Blueprint SDK.
• Comprehensive testing has been conducted, covering various scenarios and ensuring robustness.
• The extension is published and made readily accessible to the entire developer community, fostering a collaborative and inclusive smart contract development ecosystem.

Reward

@Naltox, @krigga, it's a useful idea, but I'd like to see your opinion.

I want to start this one. I'll try to release version in 3 weeks. Could you confirm it please?

[delovoyhomie]

@MKdir98, that's great! How much reward would you like to receive?

[MKdir98]

@delovoyhomie It's my first task, and I don't have any measurements.
I'll appreciate it if you suggest an amount for this.

[delovoyhomie]

@howardpen9, @krigga, @ProgramCrafter, @aSpite, @reveloper, drawing upon your expertise, what would be your estimate of the cost in hours for carrying out the integration, considering the resources that will be expended on it?

[ProgramCrafter]

I don't have expertise about any VS Code extensions so with my general prediction skills I estimate that this would need nine days of work (54 hours assuming six productive hours a day).

[aSpite]

I have no experience in developing extensions for VS Code, so I can't help in this matter
