Android Tutorial [B4X] VSCode IDE Companion: Mastering B4x Libraries Browser

Hi Fam

The VSCode IDE Companion library browser has been built using Erels Github Libraries Mapping JSON file.

To access it, one clicks the B4X Library Browser. A nice filter also exists by platform, by library type and name.

One of the thing that is lovely about this JSON file is that it has the actual URL link to download the library. So whilst you are pointed to a b4x thread, clicking download actually downloads a file.

ReadMe

ReadMe activates content saved in the json that you can read.

Forum

This opens an external browser for you to read the thread about that library.

Download

This will actually execute an actual download of the library based on the URL link provided in the JSON file for that library.

Copy Snippet

Copy the code snippet to Clipboard

Clicking a Library Card

This activates a modal that shows the details about that library.

I suppose we require the vs code and the extension setup, to get this browsing of b4x libraries.

How to get it if we just want this browser without vs code ?
