Theia browser-only + VS Code Web Extension example source code

[mr-sagar-shelar]

Hi,
I've tried to run Theia in browser only mode and able to run it locally.
Next thing which I want to try is add Language Server Protocol support to theia in browser only mode by implementing VS Code Web Extension. To do this I've created local web only plugin using VS Code Extension example

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-extension-samples/tree/main/lsp-web-extension-sample

The extension works fine in VS Code and to add make it work with Theia I followed all instruction one by one mentioned in this docs
https://theia-ide.org/docs/authoring_vscode_extensions

But the extensions are is not working on browser only mode.

There is already a POC available for browser only mode which supports Typescript Language Support
https://theia-ide.org/docs/authoring_vscode_extensions/

This POC was mention here #12852 and for the source code it is pointing to https://github.com/eclipsesource/theia/blob/browser-only-plugins-poc

This branch and repository is outdated I think.

Requesting community to please help me with finding source code for Theia browser only mode with VS Code Web Extension (LSP) support or how it can be achieved.

Thanks in advance.

Hey @mr-sagar-shelar,

The feature is currently not supported, due to considerable effort of making this work for the generic use case. The showcase for the typescript language support was a hack to show its general feasibility. I don't believe it was intended as a way to show adopters how to deploy plugins for their browser only app.

However, I believe there are people looking into this. I think @sdirix might know more.
