fluxer-vscode

💻 Update your Fluxer status with your VSCode/ium activity!

Features • Installing • Extension Settings

 

 

Features

• Automatically syncs your current VSCode activity to your Fluxer status
• Displays the file or workspace you are currently working on
• Customizable status format with configurable app name, activity text and behavior, see Extension Settings

Note

Fluxer does not yet support Rich Presence (RPC), so this extension uses the Custom Status feature to show your activity.
This requires the extension to use your user token to authenticate the API requests.
As soon as Fluxer adds support for RPC, this extension will be updated to utilize it.

 

Installing

Open VSCode and install the extension from the Visual Studio or OpenVSX Marketplace or the VSIX file.
An error notification regarding a missing user token will appear. Click the notification's Open Settings button.

You need to provide your Fluxer user token so the extension can make the API requests to update your account's status.

To retrieve your user token:

1. Log in to Fluxer at https://web.fluxer.app or your desktop app
2. Open your Developer Tools by pressing F12 (browser) or Ctrl+Shift+I (desktop app)
3. Go to the Application Tab at the top
4. Under Storage on the left, unfold Local storage and https://web.fluxer.app
5. Find the entry token in the table on the right and copy its value flx_abcdefg...
6. Back in VSCode, paste the token into the Fluxer: Token field.
7. The extension will automatically reload. Open a project and take a look at your Fluxer status!

 

Warning

User tokens are sensitive information and provide access to your account. They must not be shared with anyone.
Your configured token is stored in your VSCode's settings.json file, located at ~/.config/VSCode/User/settings.json.
Make sure you don't blindly share your VSCode configuration with someone else.
Should your token ever get leaked, update your Fluxer password to invalidate old tokens/sessions.
