Hi @tkapa,

Pain

It's awesome that we have our website and application, however a way to access FireEmoji directly from Visual Studio or VSCode as application extensions would be awesome.

Suggested Solution

Investigate how to create Visual Studio and VSCode extensions, and implement FireEmoji's solution when typing commit messages.

Tasks

• [ ] Investigate creating Visual Studio
• [x] Investigate creating VS Code extensions
• [x] Create sub repositories for each extension (e.g. SSW.FireEmoji.VisualStudio, SSW.FireEmoji.VSCode)
• [ ] Implement Visual Studio extension
• [x] Implement VSCode extension
• [x] Add folder extensions where each extension will in their own folder

Thanks!

UPDATE: Added additional tasks.

This line of code shows how it is possible to read and write to the commit message field https://github.com/seatonjiang/gitmoji-vscode/blob/6ccfb25489b2684ba1cda01187f51f2ff5e020ee/src/extension.ts#L94

Following your suggestion @bradystroud, I made a quick PoC using the node child_process to call a cli version of FireEmoji. Not sure if this is the best idea... but its a start.

Can you add a pull request so that we can investigate if that is the right approach? It looks good to me but if it's not the best, we can iterate on it. 😊

Also, we should see if we can show other suggestions and a button to fix the suggestion. (Currently just link to a new GitHub issue)
