@azure/identity

Const vsCodePlugin

• vsCodePlugin(context: any): void

• A plugin that provides the dependencies of VisualStudioCodeCredential and enables it within @azure/identity. The plugin API is compatible with @azure/identity versions 2.0.0 and later. Load this plugin using the useIdentityPlugin function, imported from @azure/identity.

  VisualStudioCodeCredential uses the authentication session from the "Azure Account" extension in VS Code.

  To use this functionality, import VisualStudioCodeCredential or DefaultAzureCredential from @azure/identity. If this plugin is not enabled, then VisualStudioCodeCredential will throw a CredentialUnavailableError, and DefaultAzureCredential will not be able to use authentication through Visual Studio Code.

  Example:

  import { useIdentityPlugin, VisualStudioCodeCredential } from "@azure/identity";
  import { vsCodePlugin } from "@azure/identity-vscode";
  
  // Load the plugin
  useIdentityPlugin(vsCodePlugin);
  
  // Now that the plugin is loaded, this credential may be used
  const credential = new VisualStudioCodeCredential();

  Parameters

  • context: any

  Returns void
