Overview:

The VSCode Webview React project is a starter kit for creating customizable views within Visual Studio Code (VSCode) using the webview API. It aims to provide an out-of-the-box solution for integrating Create React App and TypeScript with the VSCode webview. The project addresses the need to follow security best practices while using modern JavaScript frameworks and toolchains with the VSCode webview API.

Features:

Create React App and TypeScript Integration: The project incorporates Create React App and TypeScript to provide a foundation for building webviews in VSCode.
Strict Security Policy: The webview enforces a strict security policy that limits access to resources. Only resources in the /build directory and with the vscode-resource scheme can be accessed.
Relative Resource URLs: To ensure relative resource URLs work correctly, the project includes an .env file that sets the PUBLIC_URL to "./". This allows resource URLs to be relative to the webview.
baseURL Configuration: The project sets the baseURL in the webview to correctly resolve relative paths for resources.

Summary:

The VSCode Webview React project provides a starter kit for integrating Create React App and TypeScript with the webview API in Visual Studio Code. The project addresses the need to follow security best practices while utilizing modern JavaScript frameworks and toolchains with the VSCode webview. It includes features such as strict security policies, relative resource URLs, and configuration for resolving relative paths.
