# Request for Improved Recommendations in Ionic Extension for VSCode #177

Open Bader-Idris opened 3 months ago

Bader-Idris commented 3 months ago

The Ionic extension for VSCode performs the basic functions well, but I believe it could be significantly improved by expanding the recommendations section.

I suggest including all Capacitor and Ionic packages in the recommendations, which would greatly assist developers in enhancing their applications without having to navigate through numerous small documentation pages that may not be relevant to them.

For instance, adding packages like @capacitor-community/app-icon along with brief descriptions for each would provide valuable context. Additionally, incorporating all of your APIs into the recommendations section would enhance the overall utility of the extension, as the current offerings feel too limited.

Thank you for considering this suggestion to improve the user experience!

I think with almost 1200 Capacitor plugins the choices are really dependent on the app. There isn't a good way of know what should be recommended for a project.

I understand that with 1200 packages, it might seem overwhelming to recommend all of them. However, if we could focus on a curated list of formal or top 10-100 highly utilized packages, it would significantly enhance the user experience. These recommendations can serve as a valuable starting point, helping users quickly identify the most relevant and widely adopted tools in our ecosystem.
