This folder contains the source code for the extension.

As detailed in our CONTRIBUTING.md file, this extension runs code in the following execution contexts:

1. Core App

• The main app where all the commands, webviews, file system, and all other components are put together and registered as a single extension
  • Runs code with Node.js on Desktop clients (for example, VS Code on Desktop) as a regular extension, or Web Worker on Web clients (for example, github.dev on browser) as a web extension
  • Web extensions run in the web extension host in a Browser Web Worker environment, and do not have access to Node.js globals and libraries at runtime

1. Sidebars

• This is the UI for all the sidebars used in the core app
  • Uses the VS Code Webview API to render the webview views in search sidebar, search history sidebar, auth sidebar, and help and feedback sidebar

1. Search Panel

• This is the UI for the extension search homepage and to display search results
  • Uses the VS Code Webview API to render the webview panel for the Sourcegraph search homepage as a distinct editor tab

1. Extension Host

• It processes the code-intel data
  • Bring Sourcegraph code-intel to IDEs via the VS Code langauges API
  • Runs in Web Workers

1. Custom File System

• This is a custom file system implemented to display file structure of selected repositories from a search result
  • Displays file-tree for the selected repositories when opening a virtual document using the following VS Code APIs:
  • File System
  • Tree View
  • Virtual Document
    • A virtual document is a document file located remotely on cloud and not on the local disk
  • Virtual Workspaces
  • Text Document Content Provider
