test-deepseek-vscode-extension

Just one of the things I'm learning. https://github.com/hchiam/learning

Based on this Beyond Fireship video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clJCDHml2cA

Actually getting it to work on my machine wasn't as straightforward as copying the code. See notes below.

usage

# SETUP:

cd test-deepseek-vscode-extension
yarn
tsc
# Ctrl+Shift+P "Developer: Install Extension from Location..."
# select test-deepseek-vscode-extension folder

# REGULAR USE:

# run Ollama app
# Ctrl+Shift+P "Hello deepseek-vscode"

notes

• initialized using npx --package yo --package generator-code -- yo code and setting a bunch of things to "deepseek-vscode" and using the yarn option

• https://code.visualstudio.com/api/get-started/your-first-extension

  • This example uses the Ctrl+Shift+P command "Hello deepseek-vscode"
  • I had to run tsc within this project so that it generates /out/extension.js, otherwise I either couldn't get the "Hello deepseek-vscode" command to run or it got an error.
  • you might want to instead run tsc --watch so it automatically updates when you make updates

• https://ollama.com/library/deepseek-r1:1.5b

• https://ollama.com/download

  • run it and it'll help you install the CLI that works when the ollama app is running, for example, this CLI command: ollama run deepseek-r1:1.5b

• but within the project, don't want to interact with cli but rather REST API or JS SDK:

  • npm install ollama, or
  • yarn add ollama

• using es6-string-html VSCode extension by Tobermory is recommended

• TODO: figure out how to install it locally so I don't have to run it in debug.

  • maybe can find inspiration from an older project https://github.com/hchiam/custom-vscode-linter
  • UPDATE: actually this works for me:
    1. Ctrl+Shift+P "Developer: Install Extension from Location..."
    2. select the test-deepseek-vscode-extension folder
    3. Now Ctrl+Shift+P "Hello deepseek-vscode" is available in my VS Code!

• TODO: run other non-deepseek models?
