Add posssibility to store all data in VSCode settings.json

Open dsauvage-insurlytech opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Description : In this awesome extension, we can save data in custom location, in the project to use Git Sync. We cannot store it in our VSCode settings. For some reasons, i do not want to send my collections in a git repo.

Request : Is-it possible to add setting option to store data in the VS Code settings ? This feature allow us to retrieve data in any VS Code instance thanks to native editor settings sync

@dsauvage-insurlytech thanks for feedback, it is not easy to save to vscode settings.

If it's a few properties we could save to vscode settings sync.

but we have json db files, might be difficult to store in vscode settings and if multiple users modify the requests, we will get merge conflicts as well.

But we will keep this in our list, and research more about this.

Currently saving to git is recommended approach or you can also save to any storage service like google drive or dropbox.

@rangav Thanks for the quick answer ! :)

I understand the problem. However, save values to VSCode storage, in my opinion, automatically exclude it for sharing. Contrary to git storage which is the best to share with team :)

Very very thanks for the extension which is awesome. if you need help to improve or develop it, i am voluntary 👍

dont vscode supports saving large data to settings sync, looks like there is some limitation of size https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/86178
