Tasks

The extension provides several tasks for the Deno CLI which can be integrated into a project.

Deno CLI Tasks

The template for a Deno CLI task has the following interface, which can be configured in a tasks.json:

interface DenoTaskDefinition {
  type: "deno";
  // This is the `deno` command to run (e.g. `run`, `test`, `cache`, etc.)
  command: string;
  // Additional arguments pass on the command line
  args?: string[];
  // The current working directory to execute the command
  cwd?: string;
  // Any environment variables that should be set when executing
  env?: Record<string, string>;
}

There are several task templates provided to make it easy for you to configure up your tasks.json which are available via the Tasks: Configure Task in the command pallet.

An example of a deno run command would look something like this in the tasks.json:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "type": "deno",
      "command": "run",
      "args": [
        "mod.ts"
      ],
      "problemMatcher": [
        "$deno"
      ],
      "label": "deno: run"
    }
  ]
}
