Enable as a web extension?

[whilp]

It would be amazing to view and edit data files without a heavy installation. I imagine some of the dependencies here would make it hard to fully enable this extension for the web. But perhaps a useful subset could still be exposed?

yeah, this extension is grossly out of date, and updating it to work with new https://vscode.dev in a browser might require some elbow grease.

I am starting to work on a simpler tabular data viewer next week and will consider making it work in a browser too:

@RandomFractals I just went through this exercise in Marquee. Maybe this helps to get some inspirations. Main tasks were:

• create additional webpack bundle
• replace fs with vscode.workspace.fs where ever possible (and if not use if (globalThis.process) { ... } to exclude the code from the web extension bundle)
• load webview template via vscode.workspace.fs or bundle it with your extension

@christian-bromann yes, I am familiar with the steps. I might do it eventually in this or the new tabular data viewer extension. I still think the number of devs using it in a web editor is a much smaller audience, and there are other simpler extensions that show data grids in the new web editor version.

Btw, your Marquee dash is really cool! I played with it a bit and liked it a lot. Probably the first dash for vscode devs that I actually enjoyed using and exploring the code behind.
