Development

Although the steps outlined in Your First Extension are complete they remain a good starting point to understand the development of Visual Studio Code extensions. The documentation of the API can be found here. This extension uses the Tree View API extensively.

Telemetry

The npm package @vscode/extension-telemetry provides the framwork for telemetry within this extension. The module respects the user's decision about whether or not to send telemetry data. The telemetry data is hosted on Azure and is available through Application Insights.

Custom telemetry fields should not contain personally identifiable information (PII). This is to protect user privacy and reduce risk of data integrity. It is also unnecessary for this extensions use case.
