Velo IDE API

What current pain point are you facing?
Be able to add and create extensions for the velo built in IDE in the wix editor.

Do you have a current workaround that you’re using?
Nop

Describe the feature you need and how it would work. (Bonus points for mockups :wink:)
Develop an API that enables users to interact with the Velo IDE, thereby providing the foundation for creating extensions for it.

How will this impact you?
I plan to develop a Chrome extension for the Velo IDE that will streamline my workflow. This extension will allow me to view real-time logs directly within the IDE, eliminating the need to publish and check the browser each time. Additionally, the extension will offer features like customizable theme colors and AI-powered code suggestions. The possibilities for enhancing the IDE are endless.

Have you looked at the Wix IDE in Wix Studio? It’s based on Visual Studio Code and you can use extensions within it. I’m not sure the process for ensuring an extension is included but for example I’ve installed a code spell checking extension and it works.
