Support for VS Code for Web

[JosefJezek]

The 'ESLint' extension is not available in Visual Studio Code for the Web.

This will be hard to achieve.

Definitely something that would be super cool to have.

From the Learn Way link above:

There are also extensions that run in the browser with partial support only. A good example is a language extension that restricts its support to single files or the currently opened files.

I wonder if this extension could be adjusted to only execute on the currently opened file(s) on the web?

There's also a web extension authors guide that may be useful for implementation(s).

Here is my idea for implementing this:

• Load eslint in the actual plugin
• Instead of using fs, use the vscode file system API
• Somehow load plugins (maybe use the node_modules folder and load the CJS files in the browser somehow)
  I'm not sure exactly what eslint does internally, and how hard it would be to run eslint in the browser, but I think it's definitely possible.

Should be possible, atleast for the current active file

If you want to lint code on browsers, use the Linter class instead.

Also they have a demo running in the browser https://eslint.org/play/

I have a limited, but very functional within those limits, web version of this extension that's deployed in the wild. It doesn't support all plugins & parse options, but does have typescript and core ESLint rule support out of the box. I'm interested in collaborating on expanding that.
