Code-server: Implicit JSON Schema Support

[grant]

Expected

Editors like VS Code support JSON schemas out of the box.

This is done via http://schemastore.org/json/

I expect to not have to provide a $schema to get autocompletion. Just look up the filename.

Pull from the catalog:
API: http://schemastore.org/api/json/catalog.json
SRC: https://github.com/SchemaStore/schemastore/blob/master/src/api/json/catalog.json

(See VSC bug)

Actual

When you create a .json file (i.e. appsscript.json), you must explicity specify the schema

(Notice only one autocompletion result)

i.e.

{
  "$schema": "http://json.schemastore.org/appsscript"
}

Then you'll get autocompletion.

{
  "$schema": "http://json.schemastore.org/appsscript",
  "timeZone": "America/New_York",
  "dependencies": {
  },
  "exceptionLogging": "STACKDRIVER"
}

probably should fix this upstream?

[grant]

This should be upstream. I wasn't easily able to find the Settings to solve this.

In VSCode, it's this:

Code > Preferences > Settings

But that will be a different issue.

I've filed this issue for adding a way to access Preferences > Settings via the menu bar: https://github.com/codercom/code-server/issues/359
