⚠️ IMPORTANT: Requires Latest coc-vscode-loader

This registry is consumed by coc-vscode-loader. Always use the latest version of the loader — each release includes converter fixes that affect how plugins are converted. After upgrading, the loader auto-detects which installed plugins changed ([changed] in TUI) — only those need reinstalling.

:CocUpdate coc-vscode-loader
:CocCommand loader.open   " check for [changed] markers, press R on those

coc-vscode-registry

Browse and install VS Code extensions on coc.nvim — search, filter, and copy install commands.

Package registry data for coc-vscode-loader.

Files

File	Purpose
registry.json	Available VS Code extensions that can be loaded via coc-vscode-loader
presets.json	Bridge preset definitions (ts-bridge)

registry.json entry fields

Field	Required	Description
name	✅	Unique package identifier
displayName	✅	Human-readable name
description	✅	Short description
type	✅	"pure-lsp" | "ts-bridge" | "direct-api" | "snippets"
source	✅	{ type: "github", repo: "org/repo", subdir?: "path" }
url	✅	Project homepage
languages	✅	Language IDs this plugin supports
categories	✅	Categories for filtering (e.g. "LSP", "Snippets")
convert	✅	Array of conversion steps. See coc-vscode-loader/CONTRIBUTING.md
minPluginVersion	❌	Minimum coc-vscode-loader version (semver, e.g. "1.2.2"). "1.4.2" for local servers, "1.4.3" for module-kind servers with args, "1.4.5" for server.patches, "1.5.0" for goPackages/cargoPackages, "1.5.7" for excludeDeps, "1.6.0" for autoInsertion/semanticTokens/initializationOptions in language-client step, "1.6.4" for prebuilt field
pipPackages	❌	Python dependencies for pip install (["ansible-lint"])
goPackages	❌	Go packages, pipeline runs go install, binary goes to server/ (["golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest"])
cargoPackages	❌	Rust crates, pipeline runs cargo install --root, binary copied to server/ ([{ "crate": "nil", "binary": "nil" }])
serverBinary	❌	Auto-download a binary language server from GitHub Releases
prebuilt	❌	Download pre-compiled server from VS Code marketplace instead of building from source. For kind: "module" servers that need compilation (TypeScript, wasm, etc.). { type: "vsix", publisher: "...", extension: "...", version: "...", serverPaths: ["server"] }
notes	❌	User-visible installation notes/hints (e.g. "requires coc-tsserver-dev"). Displayed as a warning on the registry website and available for TUI detail popup.

convert step types

Type	Description
language-client	Generate a LanguageClient entry point for an LSP server. Supports both npm packages ("package": "some-lsp") and local servers ("package": "../server/out/server"). Local servers auto-compile server/ TypeScript at build time.
source	Apply AST transforms + text-level polyfills + plugin-specific patches to source files
bridge	Generate bridge code (e.g. ts-bridge for Volar-like plugins)
mark-unsupported	Comment out unsupported API calls
snippets	Copy snippet files and generate empty entry for pure snippet extensions

source step fields

Field	Required	Description
type	✅	"source"
transforms	✅	Array of transform names: "import-mapping", "class-to-factory", "provider-register", "enum-offset"
entry	❌	Entry point file (default "src/extension.ts")
activationEvents	❌	Coc activation events
excludeDeps	❌	Dependency names to exclude from output package.json. Supports prefix matching. ("1.5.7+")
keepDeps	❌	Dependencies to keep (array for auto-resolve, object { name: "ver" } for manual). Used when the converter can't find a dep in dependencies/devDependencies.
patches	❌	Plugin-specific text find/replace pairs applied after all transforms. Array of { find: "regex", replace: "text" }.
verbose	❌	Enable debug logging during conversion

language-client step fields

Field	Required	Description
type	✅	"language-client"
server.kind	✅	"module" or "binary"
server.package	✅	npm package name or relative path ("../server/out/server") for local servers
server.entry	❌	"main" or "bin" (npm packages only)
server.binName	❌	Specific bin entry name for packages with multiple bins
server.args	❌	CLI arguments for the server (v1.4.3+). Supports {dir} and {pluginDir} placeholders for module kind
server.patches	❌	Post-compilation text patches for server output files (v1.4.5+). Array of { file, find, replace }. Applied after tsc compilation, before esbuild bundle
languages	✅	Language IDs to associate with this server
initializationOptions	❌	JS object passed to LanguageClient during initialization
autoInsertion	❌	Enable auto-quote/auto-close. Generates onDidChangeTextDocument listener that sends custom LSP request (used by HTML language server, v1.6.0+)
semanticTokens	❌	Enable semantic tokens highlighting. Generates registerDocumentSemanticTokensProvider with custom LSP requests (used by HTML language server, v1.6.0+)
multiRoot	❌	Start one client per workspace folder
id	❌	Override the LanguageClient id (defaults to plugin name)

serverBinary config

Field	Required	Description
repo	✅	GitHub repo for releases (e.g. "denoland/deno")
asset	✅	Asset filename template with {{version}}, {{platform}}, {{arch}} etc.
binaryPath	❌	Relative path inside archive, or output filename for raw binaries
args	❌	CLI arguments for the binary LSP (e.g. ["lsp"]). For module-kind servers (v1.4.3+), use server.args in the language-client step instead
targetAssets	❌	Per-platform asset overrides. Array of { platform?, arch?, file, binaryPath? }. When the platform naming differs from our standard {{platform}} (e.g. clangd uses mac/windows vs darwin/win32), define per-platform templates. Requires minPluginVersion: "1.5.0".

presets.json

Defines reusable bridge presets (currently only ts-bridge):

{
  "ts-bridge": {
    "type": "tsserver-forward",
    "options": {
      "extensions": ["coc-tsserver-dev"],
      "services": ["tsserver"],
      "command": "typescript.tsserverRequest"
    }
  }
}
