Create VSCode extension

bampakoa commented 5 years ago

Closes #51

This PR is a WIP attempt to implement ngrev as a Visual Studio Code extension.

The first commit contains the proposed folder structure so that the main application and the extension source code are clearly separated:

I decided to include all vscode related scripts in the main package.json and create a separate one inside src/vscode folder that will contain only extension related artifacts.
There is also a separate tsconfig configuration file for the extension that resides together with the main tsconfig.
The extension main entry file is emitted in the out folder on the root path of the project.

A problem that I noticed is that when running gulp build, the extension folder is also compiled and emitted in the dist folder. So I think that we need to exclude it from the build process.

Alternatively, we could have extension related scripts in a single package.json and out folder inside vscode directory to keep it more isolated.

@mgechev what do you think?

This sounds good :)

Did you get a working version as a VSCode extension?

No, I have not managed to get a working version yet. My intention initially is to sort out how the extension code is going to live with the main application code (aka the folder structure)
