LeoJS: What is the equivalent of LeoPyRef.leo?

[Thomas Passin]

IOW, where or how do we look at Leo's code? Locations like g.app.leoDir are undefined.

Hi Thomas, 

Great question -- Thanks for asking!

Since LeoJS is a VSCode (or vscodium) extension, its source code is compiled/minified somehow, and many other source files are omitted from the final 'distribution' package.

Therefore, the way to open and view LeoJS source files (or browse it's Leo source file in Leo/LeoJS) is to clone the repo from https://github.com/boltex/leojs, and look at the base of the project folder for leojs.leo. 

This would be the equivalent of LeoPyRef.leo. (and if you're looking for the equivalent of the base setting file, leoSettings.leo, its at the same place, and named leojsSettings.leojs.

Hope this helps! 🦁

Thanks, Felix.  Now if we wanted to test out a code modification or addition, how would we incorporate that into an extension that VSC could load or install?
