codespace-linux: add Deno

Open mfulton26 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Relates to: Codespaces

I'd like for Deno to be installed by default on codespace-linux containers; it is being used for many TypeScript projects and requires no additional setup for TypeScript unlike Node which only supports JavaScript out of the box.

I just tried out the Node.js & TypeScript container in Codespaces and it gave me the option to add additional tools; maybe what I should really be asking for is:

  1. this same "mix-in" support for codespace-linux
  2. making Deno an additional tool that can be mixed into these images

Thanks for opening an issue!

Our team has been actively working on an updated plan for community contributions and this repo moving forward, which we've now outlined in this issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers/issues/1589. This includes moving to new repos for images (https://github.com/devcontainers/images) and Features (https://github.com/devcontainers/features), and we anticipate to have a similar repo and process for templates/definitions.

This sounds like a great opportunity to create and self-publish a Deno Feature (guidance here). cc @joshspicer @samruddhikhandale for the Codespaces aspect as well.
