We’re happy to announce that we’ve released the first version of the unofficial Snowplow Visual Studio Code extension, Snowboard.
This extension is designed to make it easier than ever to work with Snowplow alongside your code, directly in the editor.
Currently in the first release this features:
Schema management
- Showing schemas in the workspace, Iglu Central and the Snowplow BDP Data Structures
- Fetching remote schemas
- Drag and drop code generation from schema references
- New simple palette commands for creating new schemas (new schemas and schema versions)
-
JSON schema language awareness for Snowplow JSON schemas
-
Generate fake data from a given Snowplow schema
Snippets
Don’t remember the exact code to track an event or set up a collector?
The extension features more than 100 different snippets across 20 trackers as well as keyboard shortcuts for quickly composing JSON schemas with out all the hassle of typing out types from scratch.
Installation
You can install the extension from the link here: snowboard - Visual Studio Marketplace
