Description
VS Code has workspace recommendations, which is a nice way to get a project up and running quickly after cloning a repo. The user is notified of recommended extensions and can quickly install them.
I think it would be nice if the VS Code add-on for LuaLS would support the same. Perhaps settings could be extended with something like:
{
"properties": {
"workspace": {
"recommendations": ["love2d"]
}
}
}
And then after installing the LuaLS extension, a window could pop-up showing the recommended add-on(s), to be installed with the click of a button.
