Bit: vscode Extension

[williamluke4]

Is there any plan on a vs code extension? I been playing around here https://github.com/williamluke4/vscode-bitsrc but I don't know how bit works..

Currently, I'm just reading the .bitmap file and creating a tree to display the components and their scopes.

Is anyone willing to help me out or point me in the right direction?

Ideas

• Add the ability to tag and export components using the viewer
• Display Status of Components
• Add Bit Commands to VSCode Command Pallet

Hi @williamluke4 , I think that an IDE plugin for Bit can be truly awesome.
We have planned on implementing something like it, but haven't found the time and resources to kickstart such a project.

Bit has a programmatic API, but at the moment it is not documented.
I can try and compile a shortlist of some of the basic APIs for the functionality you have suggested.

@itaymendel That would be great thanks.

I'm happy to announce that I started working on such extension that does exactly what's stated in this issue. I want to thank @davidfirst who gave me some orientation about the project.

I will definitely checkout what you did @williamluke4.
