This is a proof-of-concept of an implementation of openhab#248 providing a file system able to abstract items and rules (only for now) in YAML files. The items & things "files" can be opened from the Items Explorer resp. Things Explorer in a new "Open in YAML" context menu entry. It also showcases how the YAML extension can be supplied schemas with this API: https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-yaml/wiki/Extension-API The schema for the thing YAML is dynamic and queries the thing type API to retrieve the config parameter descriptions. Only simple read operations for items & things have been implemented as a PoC but listing "directories", writing "files" (deserializing the YAML and updating objects with the REST API), and other operations like renaming (changing the UID) can also be envisioned. This would make VS Code a good alternative code-based UI to edit objects in an instance (with additional comfort vs. the main UI for heavy editing, like tabs etc.) while retaining the benefits of the JSON DB.

Did you make a global npm update? |

For the server-side JS, I believe my version of npm has transformed the server side package-lock.json from version 1 to version 2. However, I seem not to have added dependencies so it could easily be kept as is. |
