# Bitburner Connector for VSCode

[![semantic-release](https://img.shields.io/badge/%20%20%F0%9F%93%A6%F0%9F%9A%80-semantic--release-e10079.svg)](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release)

This extension allows for you to have all of your scripts on your host machine and push them to the running game client!

_**Note: The extension currently works with the 'dev' branch of the game. (as of 28th December 2021)**_

_This is an early WIP with a few hours gone in to both the extension and the game functionality, a lot is subject to change. Use at your own risk! Remember to backup your save and scripts!_

## Extension Configuration

| Configuration | Key | Description | Default |
| ------------- | --- | ----------- | ------- |
| Script Root  | `bitburner.scriptRoot` | The directory that the File Watcher (if enabled) uses as the 'root' directory to watch. | `./` |
| File Watcher - Enable | `bitburner.fileWatcher.enable` | A configuration option that is only read from the Workspace or Folder configurations, a way to enable the File Watcher by default. | `false` |
| Show File Push Notifications | `bitburner.showPushSuccessNotification` | If true, this will show a notification/toast when a file has been successfully pushed to the game. Errors will always show. | `false` |
| Show File Watcher Enabled Notifications | `bitburner.showFileWatcherEnabledNotification` | If true, this will show a notification/toast whenever the File Watcher is enabled and/or the extension configuration scriptRoot has changed. Errors will always show. | `false` |
| Game Authentication Token | `bitburner.authToken` | The auth token that the game generates, needed for you to be able to push files in to your game client. See [#authentication](#authentication) section below. | (No Default) |

## Pushing Files

### Authentication

When the game is started for the first time, it generates an 'Auth Token' that can be used by third party programs/applications/scripts to push files to the game. This extension **requires** that token to in order to function.

You can copy the token from the Bitburner application 'API Server' context menu:

![Image showing API Server context menu in the bitburner game client](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hexnaught/vscode-bitburner-connector/assets/images/bit-burner-menu-auth-token.png)

#### Adding the token to the extension:

The token will ultimately end up in the workspace configuration (See your workspaces`./.vscode/settings.json`), so you can either:

- Add the token manually to the workspace `settings.json` to the key of `bitburner.authToken`.
- Use the command palette (CTRL/CMD + SHIFT + P) and select `Bitburner: Add Auth Token`.
  - Paste the Auth Token copied via the games context menu in to the input box.

### Push through the context menu

- Right Click in the VSCode Editor (Your source code) and choose 'Bitburner: Push file to game'

### Push through the command palette

- Open the Command Palette (CTRL/CMD + SHIFT + P)
  - Choose 'Bitburner: Push File To The Game' to save and push a single file (File open in editor)
  - Choose 'Bitburner: Push All Files To The Game' to push all files from your configured `scriptRoot`.

### Push With the file watcher (Disabled by default)

- Open the Command Palette (CTRL/CMD + SHIFT + P)
  - Enable with 'Bitburner: Enable File Watcher'
  - Disable with 'Bitburner: Disable File Watcher'

This is currently disabled by default (but can be overwritten in Workspace/Folder preferences), the behaviour is - It will push all files that have a `.js`, `.ns` or `.script` extension within your currently open folder/workspace - Respecting any folders that you may have them in.

You can change the directory being watching with the `bitburner.scriptRoot` setting within the plugin configuration, open VSCode preferences to modify the value - default as `./` (workspace root).

You can enable the fileWatcher by default with the `bitburner.fileWatcher.enable` setting within the plugin configuration. This setting will not work if set in user settings, it must be set at the workspace or folder level.

**NOTE: You can only watch paths within the workspace VSCode has open.**

### Behaviour

Files that are pushed to the game will be done so relative to the 'Script Root' (See configuration: `bitburner.scriptRoot`), respecting any folders from that root to your scripts location. For example:

_With the the following configuration `scriptRoot: "./out/"`..._

- `./out/script.js` will push to `Home:~/script.js` in game.
- `./out/folder/script.js` will push to `Home:~/folder/script.js` in game.
- `./out/folder/subfolder/script.js` will push to `Home:~/folder/subfolder/script.js` in game.
- `./test.js` will not be pushed to the game as it is a level above the configured 'script root'.
