I was considering prefixing all the snippet triggers with ad:.

Although, prefixing might not eventually be necessary considering that we could restrict the extension to run only in an adonis project (#10).

Pros:

• Easy to understand
• Easy to distinguish adonis snippets from vscode suggestions.

Cons:

• Extra 3 characters (hence making commands longer to type).

@tnkemdilim @thetutlage When is this extension going to get released to marketplace

Any fixed date?

Some of the work is still pending and the final polishing. Not 100% sure, when I'll begin working on it. But happy, you or someone else wants to pick up the development

So far, the major pending tasks (asides from final polishing) includes:

• Merging the snippets into master (status: completed);

Decision about prefixing the snippets commands is yet to be concluded on as mentioned earlier in this thread.

• Adding language server for HTML, CSS & JS (status: this has been implemented in feature/edge-support-with-language-server).

There are still deliberations on whether to ship the vscode html language server with the extension or write a custom one, considering that it'll increase the download size of the extension (a comparison of compiled extension size from both will be performed to see if it's worth a tradeoff).

• Documentation of internal workings.

I'll work on completing the above at the latter part of this month. Although, would really appreciate if you could join in the development.

@tnkemdilim

I was actually thinking to release the extensions in multiple phases.

• In the first phase, we can ship with the autocompletion of controllers and edge templates, along with Edge syntax support
• The 2nd phase will be swap adonis cli commands with node ace. Initially, we wrote the extension by keeping adonis cli in mind, but now the landscape has changed.
• Add .adonisrc.json schema file for JSON autocomplete.

So it will be matter of creating a few branches, each dedicated to a single release.

@thetutlage

Releasing incrementally is definitely a great idea.

Would you suggest releasing the edge snippets initially?

What i'll need to do:

• Create the expected releases into separate branches.
• Check the ace CLI tasks in v5 for breaking changes.
• Highlight what needs to be done for v5 compatibility on the project board.

@tnkemdilim @thetutlage It has been over a month now, any updates?
