IQGeo VS Code Utils

IQGeo development extension to support code navigation and additional linting in Visual Studio Code.

The extension provides the following features:

1. An alternative definition search dialog that shows a preview of the highlighted result in an editor.
   The search supports JavaScript and Python and accepts these query formats:
   • <method name>
   • <class name>
   • <class name>.<method name>
   • <file name or path>

2. Enhanced navigation to the definitions using the standard commands in VS Code. (e.g. Go to Definition, Peek Definition, Go to Symbol, ...).
   

3. Linting for API usage and subclassing.

4. Set of shortcuts for

   • Definition search
   • Code navigation
   • Text search
   • Workspace layouts

5. Command to create JSDoc comment for a function or class.
   Press Ctrl+Shift+D when the cursor is on the definition line to create a JSDoc comment populated with the parameters. Any defaults will be included.

6. Command to update an IQGeo project based on options in .iqgeorc.jsonc configuration file.
   "IQGeo Update Project from .iqgeorc.jsonc" is available from the command palette (Ctrl+Cmd+P or Ctrl+Shift+P) or from the right click menu when editing .iqgeorc.jsonc.
   See utils-project-template and utils-project-update for details.

7. Command to pull and merge latest changes from utils-project-template with existing project files.
   "IQGeo Pull and merge files from project-template" is available from the command palette (Ctrl+Cmd+P or Ctrl+Shift+P) or from the right click menu when editing .iqgeorc.jsonc.
   See utils-project-template and utils-project-update for details.

8. File watch to restart Python or browser debug session when a Python or JavaScript file change respectively.
   This functionality is enabled when iqgeo-utils-vscode.enableAutoRestart is set to true.
   The extension uses one terminal to restart the Python environment and another to run a Javascript file watch. A browser debug session (if active) will be restarted when a JavaScript file is saved.
   The delay between saving a JavaScript file and restarting a debug session (to allow the watch build to complete) can be configured using the setting iqgeo-utils-vscode.restartDelay (defaults to 1500ms).

9. (Experiemental) Hover and Code Lens actions for search and navigation. The actions can be enabled with the settings iqgeo-utils-vscode.enableHover and iqgeo-utils-vscode.enableCodeLens.

The extension scans for definitions in the paths specified by the setting iqgeo-utils-vscode.searchPaths (see below).
The search path defaults to the workspace folder or /opt/iqgeo/platform/WebApps/myworldapp when inside a dev container.
Files are automatically rescanned when saved.
