kotlin-vscode/vscode/env/openExternalAsync

openExternalAsync

fun openExternalAsync(target: Uri): PromiseLike<JsBoolean>(source)

Opens a link externally using the default application. Depending on the used scheme this can be:

  • a browser (http:, https:)

  • a mail client (mailto:)

  • VSCode itself (vscode: from vscode.env.uriScheme)

Note that {@linkcode window.showTextDocument showTextDocument} is the right way to open a text document inside the editor, not this function.

Parameters

target

The uri that should be opened.
