Theia

Theia is an open-source, extensible platform for building cloud and desktop IDEs. It's designed with a modular architecture, embraces VS Code extensions, and allows for deep customization to create tailored development experiences. Protocol Launcher allows you to generate deep links to open Theia.

Usage

There are two ways to use this library:

  • On-Demand import from subpaths enables tree-shaking and keeps bundles small.
  • Full Import from the root package is convenient but includes all app modules.

Pick On-Demand for production builds; Full Import is fine for quick scripts or demos.
