How-to

Initial configuration

1. Create an empty folder with a file named iglooconfig.txt inside it with the following content:

{
    "url" : "<Instance URL>",
    "username" : "<Instance username>",
    "password" : "<Instance password>",
    "app_name" : "<Name of you application>",
    "track_changes": true
}

2. Open the folder in VSCode and wait unitil statusbar displays the message IglooReloaded: Active.
3. Press Ctrl + Alt + a to fetch all scripts from ServiceNow.

Opening a file on ServiceNow

Right click in the file in the sidebar and click IglooReloaded: Open in ServiceNow to view that file on ServiceNow.

Autocompletions

Autocompletions should be working out of the box (use Ctrl + Space to trigger them). If you're not able to see autocompletions, make sure you have not deleted the @types directory or the jsconfig.json file.

If some autocompletions are incorrect (they are autogenerated from the ServiceNow docs), you can create an issue.

Adding new tables to import from

If you think that scripts from some tables should be imported by default you can create an issue.

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + P to open the command pallet and select the "IglooReloaded: Create default mappings.json file"
2. A new mappings.json file will be created in your workspace.
3. Edit this file to add or remove new tables.

Enabling/Disabling local git version tracking

Change the value of key track_changes to either true or false to enable or disable local version tracking.
