Questions about vscode extension for sirius web

[mshahzadiftikhar]

I have recently installed vscode extension for sirius web. The one available at market place is outdated, so I had to build one from the source code available in repo. I have few questions regarding vscode extension:

1. I don't see an option to drag and drop components from the left pane which is generally a standard for diagram editors. Only option to add components is by right clicking in editor and then selecting then required component. Is there a way to drag and drop like there is on sirius web version?
2. Is it possible to download the project, representation or model from the vscode?
3. Is it possible to edit diagram textually? I only see UI representation, not the text variant.

Attaching screenshot of vscode:

Hi,

For questions 1 & 2, these are known limitations of the extension. For the moment, the VS Code extension should be seen as a "proof of concept" of how Sirius Web can be integrated into other systems, and not as a fully usable solution for users.

For the 3rd question, there is no textual representation of either the semantic model (the Flow model) or the diagram. Unless you count their JSON-based serialisation in the database as such, but it's not designed to be exposed to (even less edited by) end-users.
