Create, query, and access Visual Studio Team Services work items from within Visual Studio Code.

The features are available through the commands that were added to the command palette as well as the key bindings associated with each: Open Visual Studio Team Services work items portal (Ctrl+W Ctrl+P), Create Visual Studio Team Services work item (Ctrl+W Ctrl+N), Create Visual Studio Team Services task from selection (Ctrl+W Ctrl+T), and Query Visual Studio Team Services work items (Ctrl+W Ctrl+O).

Based on the information specified in settings.json a visual indicator is added to the Visual Studio Code status bar with the details of the Visual Studio Team Service account and team project that the extension is connected to.

Create a new Visual Studio Team Services task from a single-line text selection to easily track tasks from comments. A link to the newly created task will be automatically injected into the editor. This feature is only available for JavaScript, TypeScript, TypeScript React, and C# files.

Execute a work item querie stored in the "My Queries" folder and open a work item that is returned by the work item query.

In order for the extension to access your Visual Studio Team Servies account you need to provide the account name, the team project name, and a personal access token with "work items (read and write)" permission. After installing the extension, and restarting Visual Studio Code, add the following section into your settings.json:

{
	// Visual Studio Team Services account (Ex: contoso.visualstudio.com).
	"vsts.account": "",

	// Visual Studio Team Services personal access token.
	"vsts.pat": "",

	// Visual Studio Team Services team project name.
	"vsts.teamProject": ""
}

You can also add the vsts.workItemTypes optional setting to control the work item types that can be created using Visual Studio Code, as well as the vsts.statusBarItemPriority optional setting to control the location of the status bar item (the greater the value the more left the item is displayed).

	// Visual Studio Team Services work item types. (Ex: ["Bug", "Task"])
	"vsts.workItemTypes": [],

	// Priority of the status bar item. The higher the priority the more left the item is displayed.
	"vsts.statusBarItemPriority": 99,
