§Rest: JavaScript Bundler for VS Code Platform Code

Rest compiles VS Code’s TypeScript and JavaScript source into optimized bundles that Cocoon can load at runtime. Built on OXC (Oxidation Compiler) for native-speed parsing, transformation, and minification.

§What Rest Produces

VS Code’s source code is a massive TypeScript/JavaScript codebase. Rest takes the platform code (workbench, services, platform layers) and bundles it into self-contained modules that the Cocoon extension host can require().

The output lands in the Output Element, ready for production use.

§Why Not Webpack or esbuild

Rest uses OXC because it runs at native speed as a Rust library. No Node.js process needed for bundling. The entire build pipeline stays in Rust.

§Modules

  • Fn: Core bundling functions and OXC integration
  • Struct: Configuration structures and CLI command definitions
