Add support for Lightning Web Components Open Source

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The LWC extension does currently not support projects that are based on LWC OSS using lwc-create-app.

Describe the solution you’d like New menu items should be shipped that augment the implementation of LWC OSS in lightning-language-server.

https://github.com/forcedotcom/lightning-language-server/issues/15

The following additions are proposed:

• New context menu “LWC: Create Lightning Web Component” in file explorer on modules folder
• New command palette item “LWC: Create Lightning Web Component”

Optional:

• Adding default tasks for watch/build etc. modes.

Sure, but if we start adding templates directly to the extensions then we’ll now have two different places to host the same templates.

We are working towards having an easier way of loading the template plugin directly in the extensions. That is part of the whole refactoring effort we’ve gone through with that plugin. Basically building a module from the same repo that is used by the cli that can also be directly consumed by the extensions (similar to what we do with @salesforce/core) but we’re not there yet.

Hi @muenzpraeger! In the past year we’ve made the transition to a library-based architecture so the CLI and the Extensions will share the same business logic - and you won’t need to have the CLI installed to work with the Extensions. We’re working on making this change across all the Extensions features, but so far we’ve addressed the templates for LWC creation. Let me know if you were looking for something more with this issue, else I’ll close this soon. Thanks for the feedback, feel free to keep dropping comments 😃
