VS Code Extension Plugin System

The extension uses a plugin architecture. Each plugin implements PrismaVSCodePlugin:

// packages/vscode/src/plugins/types.ts
interface PrismaVSCodePlugin {
  name: string
  enabled: () => Promise<boolean> | boolean
  activate?: (context: ExtensionContext) => Promise<void> | void
  deactivate?: () => Promise<void> | void
}

Current Plugins

Plugin	Location	Purpose
prisma-language-server	plugins/prisma-language-server	LSP client for the LS
prisma-postgres-manager	plugins/prisma-postgres-manager	Manage Prisma Postgres DBs
prisma-studio	plugins/prisma-studio	Launch Prisma Studio
ai-tools	plugins/ai-tools	VS Code LM tools for Copilot

Adding a New Plugin

1. Create a new directory under packages/vscode/src/plugins/
2. Export a PrismaVSCodePlugin object as default
3. Register it in packages/vscode/src/plugins/index.ts

// plugins/my-plugin/index.ts
import { commands } from 'vscode'
import { PrismaVSCodePlugin } from '../types'

const plugin: PrismaVSCodePlugin = {
  name: 'my-plugin',
  enabled: () => true, // or check a condition
  activate: async (context) => {
    // Register commands, providers, etc.
    context.subscriptions.push(
      commands.registerCommand('prisma.myCommand', () => {
        /* ... */
      }),
    )
  },
  deactivate: () => {},
}

export default plugin
