Add extension to Azure Data Studio

[nielsvdc]

This extension would also be nice to use in Azure Data Studio, but is not yet supported.

I'll consider it.

Notes to self:

• See https://learn.microsoft.com/azure-data-studio/extensions/add-extensions
• May just need to either bifurcate the build to get separate package.json, or can they be combined as a single extension and published separately?

Seems this is working as-is:

You can just download it from the releases page here and install as a VSIX directly in ADS.

I already tried installing the VSIX in ADS, but the extension won't show up. Can you explain what you are doing in the screenshot above?
I've also already installed the extension in VSCode on same Windows machine.

What do you mean, "won't show up"? It shows up in the Extensions pane once you install the VSIX from a file, and you have to activate it via key binding, which defaults to Ctrl+{ i.e., Ctrl+Shift+[. There's no other UI.

When installing the VSIX in ADS through the "Install from VSIX" function, it doesn't install and functionality isn't added to ADS on my machine. I tested the install in a sandbox environment and there it seems to work fine.

I was able to solve it on my machine manually, by copying the extension folder from the /.vscode/extensions folder to the /.azuredatastudio/extensions folder and edit the file /.azuredatastudio/extensions/settings.json by adding the json code for this extension from the settings.json file from VScode.

I'll consider adding it to ADS's extension "store", but my point is that if you download the VSIX and Install from VSIX like I did in the Windows Sandbox using the latest ADS from the download instructions, it 1) showed up in my extensions menu, and 2) was activated via the Ctrl+{ binding.
