Dynamic Inputs (Visual Studio Code)

This extension lets you populate a dynamic list of options from which you can pick a value during debugging or running tasks.

Features

• Supports multi value selection
• Supports other script languages (bash, python, nodejs etc.)
• Supports memoization of the parameter using var parameter in args and dynamic-inputs.read command
• Supports remap options to values by using unwrap
• Supports params serializations via serializer option with the following value: json or plain (will pass multiple selections with a space delimiter)

Commands

• dynamic-inputs.read - attempts to read from memory or shows a selection list
• dynamic-inputs.write - always offers to a selection and saves the selection to the memory if args.var is given

Demo

Setup

1. Create a script which populates options by writing JSON array to stdout
2. Create a script for debugging
3. Run a task with a dynamic variable
4. Debug the script with a dynamic variable

Variables

Supported variables in interpolation

Map options to values

Given

[
  { "label": "$(notebook-state-success) A", "value": "A", "picked": true },
  { "label": "$(notebook-state-error) B", "value": "B" },
  { "label": "$(notifications-configure) C", "value": "C" }
