Project Manager Setup for VS Code

With the Project Manager extension, you can easily manage and switch between multiple micro-services. This setup will allow you to maintain a more organized development environment while working on multiple micro-services.

We will configure the following micro-services in the Project Manager:

• activity-log
• anomaly
• auth-bo
• auth-rs

• calendar
• commission
• company
• dashboard
• distributor
• document
• equipment
• error
• establishment
• init
• intervention
• notification
• organization
• profile-bo
• profile-rs
• report
• reseller
• site
• technical-installation
• web-socket

Step 1: Installing the Project Manager Extension

1. Open Visual Studio Code.
2. Go to the Extensions view by clicking on the Extensions icon in the Activity Bar on the side of the window or press Ctrl+Shift+X.
3. In the search bar, type Project Manager.
4. Select the extension named Project Manager by alefragnani.
5. Click on the Install button to add it to VS Code.

Step 2: Configuring Project Manager

Once the extension is installed, follow these steps to configure your micro-services.

Adding Micro-Services to Project Manager

1. Navigate to the folder where your micro-service is located (e.g., activity-log).
2. Open the Command Palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P.
3. Type Project Manager: Save Project and select it.
4. You will be prompted to give the project a name. Enter the name of the micro-service (e.g., activity-log).
5. Repeat the steps above for each micro-service listed.

Using JSON Configuration (Alternative Method)

If you prefer to manually add all micro-services in one go, you can directly edit the projects.json file:

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the Command Palette.
2. Type Project Manager: Edit Projects and select it.
3. Scroll down to the Project Manager section or add it manually:

[

  },
  {
    "name": "anomaly",
    "rootPath": "/path/to/anomaly"
  },
  {
    "name": "auth-bo",
    "rootPath": "/path/to/auth-bo"
  },
  {
    "name": "auth-rs",
    "rootPath": "/path/to/auth-rs"

  {
    "name": "buildingwork",
    "rootPath": "/path/to/buildingwork"
  },
  {
    "name": "calendar",

    "rootPath": "/path/to/profile-bo"
  },
  {
    "name": "profile-rs",
    "rootPath": "/path/to/profile-rs"
  },
  {
    "name": "report",
    "rootPath": "/path/to/report"

    "rootPath": "/path/to/reseller"

    "rootPath": "/path/to/site"

    "rootPath": "/path/to/technical-installation"
  },
  {
    "name": "web-socket",
    "rootPath": "/path/to/web-socket"
  }
]

4. Replace the /path/to/ with the actual path to your micro-services.
5. Save the file.

Step 3: Switching Between Micro-Services

1. Open the Command Palette with Ctrl+Shift+P.
2. Type Project Manager: List Projects and select it.
3. You will see a list of all your configured micro-services.
4. Select any micro-service to open it in the current or a new window.
