VS Code Extension

1.Install

Install from the Visual Studio Marketplace (and Open VSX for Cursor, Windsurf, and VSCodium). Search the Extensions view for "hostfunc", or install from the command line.

# VS Codecode --install-extension hostfunc.hostfunc-vscode# Cursor / Windsurf / VSCodium (Open VSX)# Extensions view → search "hostfunc" → Install

2.Sign in

Open the hostfunc view in the Activity Bar and click Sign in. A code appears and your browser opens to authorize the device — confirm the code matches, then approve.

• The extension polls until you approve, then stores a workspace-scoped token securely.
• The status bar shows your active workspace; click it to switch workspaces.
• Run the hostfunc: Sign Out command to remove stored tokens.

3.Deploy and run

Each function in the explorer has inline actions. Deploy publishes the current draft to a live version; Run prompts for a JSON payload and invokes the deployed function.

• Run output and execution logs stream into the hostfunc Output channel.
• Open in Dashboard jumps to the function's editor on the web.
• Refresh re-loads the function list for the active workspace.

4.Inspect a function

Expand a function node to drill into its state without leaving the editor.

• Triggers — each configured trigger with its kind and status.
• Versions — recent deploys with size and status.
• Executions — recent runs with status and timing; copy an execution id for hostfunc logs.
• Secrets — configured key names (values are never shown or transferred).

5.Local file sync

Pull a function's draft into a local folder and push edits back. Saving the project's entry file pushes the draft automatically (quiet no-op for unrelated saves or signed-out sessions).

6.Configuration

Settings live under the hostfunc namespace.

• hostfunc.baseUrl — control-plane URL. Defaults to https://hostfunc.io; set it to http://localhost:3000 for local development.
