EgretWing loads the plugin by means of inactive load. The activate method defined by the plugin will be invoked only when the plugin needs to be activated. Through the activationEvents field of the package.json of the plugin, a context is provided to indicate when the plugin will be activated. The following activation events are currently supported:

• onLanguage:${language}
• onCommand:${command}
• workspaceContains:${toplevelfilename}
• *

activationEvents.onLanguage

This event will be triggered when the document of corresponding language is opened. For example:

...
"activationEvents": [
	"onLanguage:python"
]

activationEvents.onCommand

The event will be triggered when a command command is executed. For example:

...
"activationEvents": [
	"onCommand:extension.sayHello"
