VSCode OpenWhisk Extension

This is a prototype extension for Visual Studio Code https://code.visualstudio.com/ that enables complete round trip cycles for authoring OpenWhisk actions inside the editor. The key point for this extension is that it has full round trip for open whisk actions (list, create new local, create new remote, update, import from remote system, invoke, etc…) without ever leaving the IDE and makes dev cycles far shorter and easier. It also works for both Swift and JS actions on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Download and run the installer for your platform from the Downloads Section.
