ECLIPSE THEIA - EXAMPLE HEADLESS PLUGIN USING THE API PROVIDER SAMPLE

Description

An example demonstrating three Theia concepts:

  • "headless plugins", being plugins loaded in a single plugin host Node process outside of the context of any frontend connection
  • client of a custom "Greeting of the Day" API provided by the @theia/api-provider-sample extension
  • "backend plugins", being plugins loaded in the backend plugin host process for a frontend connection

Thus this plug-in demonstrates the capability of a VS Code-compatible plugin to provide two distinct backend entry-points for the two different backend contexts. As declared in the package.json manifest:

  • in the headless plugin host, the entry-point script is headless.js via the Theia-specific the "theiaPlugin" object
  • in the backend plugin host for a frontend connection, the entry-point script is backend.js via the VS Code standard "main" property

The plugin is for reference and test purposes only and is not published on npm (private: true).

Greeting of the Day

The sample uses the custom gotd API to log a greeting upon activation.
