This blog has afforded me a window into what developers are struggling with. Over the last year+, I’ve seen an uptick in developers using vsCode and SuiteScript 2.0. The problem has been no good solution that brings SuiteScript 2.0 intellisense to vsCode… until now.

Several weeks ago, I began corresponding with Eric Birdsall, another SuiteScript developer who contacted me via my blog. He was interested in a solution to this yet unsolved mystery. When we first talked, he’d been combining NetSuite’s multi-file 2.0 API solution into a single file, much like the 1.0 API. His work produced a lot of excitement, but yielded a very shallow solution, not workable.

Next, I tried reflection, peering back into SuiteScript 2’s modules (‘N/record’, ‘N/search’, ‘N/file’) prototypes to build a working solution. Again, it was way to sparse and unusable.

So Eric plowed head first into a solution. He spent a weekend working through NetSuite’s developer guides and building an extension to vsCode. It’s called SuiteSnippets. Version 1.0.1 is currently available, and it works as expected, bringing intellisense to vsCode. I’d highly encourage you to give it a try. And thank you Eric.
