VS Code JSON interpreter for neovim

Switching from VS Code to Neovim has perks and pitfalls, mainly when your collaborators stick to VS Code and its project settings. The .vscode/launch.json is handy when you want to run your project with different input arguments and share those configurations with others. This plugin tries to bridge this gap by providing a parser for .vscode/launch.json files and letting you select and run the configurations listed in it.

Limitation

Currently this plugin only supports running Python modules (no debugging).

Installation

Python:

python3 -m pip install pynvim

packer:

 use({
    'k0nze/vscode_json.nvim',
     requires = {
        {"akinsho/toggleterm.nvim"}
     },
     run=':UpdateRemotePlugins'
 })

Configuration

lua:

require('k0nze/vscode_json.nvim').setup({
    selection_buffer_pos = "bottom" -- "top" | "bottom" where will the buffer to select the launch configuration be opened
})

Usage

Functions and Commands

:call VSCodeJSONReadLaunch() reads the .vscode/launch.json at the location nvim was opened at (is executed when opening nvim).
:call VSCodeJSONListLaunchConfigurations() opens a scratch buffer which allows you to select a launch configuration from .vscode/launch.json.
:VSCodeJSONRun opens a new embedded terminal with akinsho/toggleterm.nvim and runs the selected launch configuration.
