This extension will allow you to preview how your extension will look like in the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
This can be very convenient as there no easy way to do that and most of the time you have to wait for your extension to be published to then realize that the readme didn't look as you expected.
The extension will only be enabled if a package.json file is present in your folder.
If that's the case, a new command will be available to you:
# Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P or F1
Marketplace: Preview ManifestBear in mind that this command will only be available when the
package.jsonfile is active on VSCode. Note that you will also neeed aREADME.mdfile for the content to be properly previewed.
Aside from the command, you will also see a new icon in the top left corner of your package.json file:
If you press it, you'll see that a new preview panel opens showing you a preview of how your extension would look like.
Once you have the Preview Panel opened, you'll be able to modify both your package.json and README.md files. The changes will be updated in the Preview Panel every time you save the changes.
