Kusion Extension for Visual Studio Code

The VS Code Kusion extension provides convenient operations to deliver KCL configurations to Clouds.

Set Up Your Environment

Welcome to KusionStack's world for your cloud delivery! We hope this extension enhances your experience with Kusion.

Tip: If you are using the Cloud IDE bundled with Kusion, the first two steps can be skipped!

Step 1. Install Kusion on your system.
Step 2. Install the Kusion extension for Visual Studio Code. This extension requires the VS Code 1.68+
Step 3. Begin your Kusion tour starting from Kusion's quick start.

Walk Through the features

This extension now assists Kusion operations to deliver to clouds: Create Project From Archetype, Preview Live Diff and Apply.

As the vscode-kusion extension installed to our VS Code, let's follow the Getting started with Kusion walkthrough and deploy out first application to the cloud with Kusion:

We can find Kusion walkthrough on the VS Code Welcome page. (Or we could open the Command Palatte and type walkthrough, then type kusion to locate Kusion walkthrough.)

Get your Environment Ready

We could check if Kusion installed by clicking the Install Kusion button in the walkthrough
Open a Konfig Workspace Folder A monorepo konfig is already there for quick start, we could clone the repo and open it with VS Code:
```
git clone https://github.com/KusionStack/konfig.git
```
Create a New Kusion Project

We could quickly create a new kusion project from archetype. To do that, click the Create Kusion Project button on the walkthrough (or, type Kusion: Create in the Command Palatte), and select a project template(For example using the code-city template we could deploy an application to visualize software as 3D cities).
Explore Your Project and Configurations Now let's open our kusion project that we previously created and browse the configuration code
Verify the Resource Changes to be made

After changing the stack's configuration, we can right-click at the configuraion main file and select Preview Live Diff and Apply to verify the resource changes to be made. And
Apply the Application Changes Then if the live diff is as expected, we apply the changes to the runtime by clicking the 'Apply' button to confirm to apply.

Ask for Help and Feedback

If the extension isn't working as you expect, please reach out to us by filing an issue. You can also raise an issue by typing Kusion: Help in the Command Palatte from within the VS Code.
