VSCode plugin about boostnote-app

[Rokt33r]

I think we should extract db api from the app. So any kind of platform can use it via NPM.

@jhdcruz Btw, Have you created any vscode plugins before?

[Rokt33r]

I'm going to make a class for the PWA app which uses pouchdb's api based on our business logic(Creating a note, creating a folder, creating a tag...)
For the VSCode plug-in, I don't think it is good idea just showing PWA app in VS Code. I think it should look like builtin feature of VS Code so adopters can use the plugin naturally.
To make it possible, the plugin also needs the class to manage db. So rather than keeping same code in different place, making it into a npm package would be a better option. And I guess we could do same thing for a CLI app.

I can probably work on this one, but that'll be until the PWA is released.

VSCode has a Webview API that should be capable of handling this task.

I've scanned the docs before, but any actual extensions/plugins made? No.

That's why I've said "probably".

Also, I don't quite get the idea of installing/using NPM, doesn't that mean you're using it as a dependency?

Or maybe using it to load local content? which has a point for it to work offline, since using the PWA as a base only works when there is an internet connection.

I'm really sorry but I'm confused. Not really a back-end guy. 😅

[jhdcruz]

Oh okay, I got the whole idea.

Yeah, I think that'll be too much for someone like me that don't have experience making a plugin/extension.

@Rokt33r Good Idea, any advance at the db client?
