Executable Settings

Settings, like [if](Conditional Settings), execute JavaScript code, the time, when they are handled.

The following example, runs an npm install on startup, only if node_modules folder does not exist.

{
    "ego.power-tools": {
        "startup": [
            {
                "command": "npm install",

                "if": " !$fs.existsSync( $v['workspaceRoot'] + '/node_modules' ) "
            }
        ]
    }
}

Keep in mind: Any code needs to be executed synchronously and does NOT support async patterns, like Promises!
