vs-code: Consider reworking initial prompt for From Code vs From Template #3844

Closed ellismg closed 1 week ago

ellismg commented 2 weeks ago

Today when you run the azd init flow via the VS Code extension, the prompt we give includes options for both starting from existing code, starting from a third party template and then a list of all the templates from Awesome AZD.

In practice, the "Start from existing code" can get lost among a sea of options (since we have so many templates) causing folks to think they are in the wrong place.

It might be better to present two options first:

  1. Start from a code
  2. Start from a template

And then if you pick (2) we show the template list (and the option to use an external one).

@bwateratmsft do you think we can make this enhancement for Build?

@rajeshkamal5050 yes, we can do that. I'll get to work on it. Do we want to release it for //Build or is it enough to just get it checked in?

Thanks @bwateratmsft for the quick fix. Feedback came as part of the build demo (aspire, C# Dev Kit, VSCode Azd extension) discussion. Will be good to release it.

We can do a VSCode extension release along with azd 1.9.0(May/7) or the next one azd 1.9.1(May/14).
