Hygen for VSCode

This extension bundles Hygen into VSCode and offers seamless code generator functionality right into your editor.

Usage

Main usage is through command pallete (Shift+Cmd+P) and search for 'Hygen'.

It's recommended to set a shortcut (but none is set by default).

You can also right click on a folder in the explorer and run the generator in that location. Default is the workspace root.

Settings

There are 2 settings that drive more interactive features. These include:

• hygen.showFileSelector (false) : If selected will show a file selector when running command to allow you to dynamically choose files from the directory
• hygen.showOptionSelector (true) : If selected will show a option selector when there is an options.json file in the directory

Provided Variables

The following variables will be provided for use inside templates.

• templateFiles : A | separated list of files that will be generated. This can be used inside a template to generate special code if another file is also being generated
• {option} : Any option that was selected which is driven by a options.json file in the same directory (see below for example)

Example options.json

[
  {
    "label": "Stateless",
    "description": "isStateless",
    "picked": true
  }
]

The above file will provide the template with a isStateless option that will be either 'true' or 'false' depending on if it was selected
