Support for VSCode Region Marker Folding

[arimgibson]

Problem

While modeling lots of data, it's easy for the schema.prisma file to get out of hand. A super handy feature that VSCode supports is region marker folding, which allows users to define certain regions that can be folded.

Suggested solution

The Prisma extension for VSCode should introduce functionality allowing for VSCode to fold marked regions inside a Prisma schema. It's possible that much of the code for this feature could be edited from the #region folding for VS Code (GitHub) repository.

Alternatives

Customizable Extensions (like #region folding for VS Code)
This functionality can be achieved using the aforementioned #region folding for VS Code (VSCode Marketplace) extension, which allows users to specify how region folding should work in separate file extensions. Regardless, it would improve developer experience to automatically have this functionality built into the Prisma extension.

#region folding in VS Code Extension Settings for Prisma

"maptz.regionfolder": {
  "[prisma]": {
    "foldStart": "// #region [NAME]",
    "foldStartRegex": "//[\\s]*#region[\\s]*(.*)",
    "foldEnd": "// #endregion",
    "foldEndRegex": "//[\\s]*#endregion"
  }
}

Schema File Splitting
Users working in larger applications may benefit from migrating towards something like Schemix, which allows for splitting of Prisma schema files are they are generated from TypeScript. However, for small or medium sized schema, migrating to Schemix introduces new tools developers have to learn and might be time consuming.

Jsut for clarification, you are looking for a way to "group together" multiple models/views/enums via putting a marker around them, and then "fold" them into a hidden state so it is easier to navigate the file?

Yep, exactly @janpio !
