Microsoft Fabric extensions for Visual Studio Code

Microsoft Fabric has two extensions for Visual Studio (VS) Code that help you manage your Fabric artifacts in VS Code and develop user data functions:

Microsoft Fabric (Preview)

The Microsoft Fabric (Preview) extension for VS Code allows you to access, view, and manage a Fabric workspace within VS Code. The Fabric extension is the core extension that enables other Fabric extensions to support more features and enhance your developer productivity.

Features

The supported features are:

  • Sign in and manage access to a Fabric account with VS Code accounts.
  • Create and open workspaces in your Fabric account.
  • View the items in your workspace and open, rename, or edit them in Fabric. You can group them by item type or view them as a list.
  • Open and edit notebooks.

Sign in

To sign in to your Fabric account, press F1 and type Fabric: Sign in. You're prompted for access to your computer's secure credential storage service so you don't need to sign in every time you start VS Code. Once signed in, select a workspace to view the list of items in the Fabric explorer.

Command palette

You can access almost all Azure services provided by these extensions through the Command palette in VS Code. Press F1, then type in Fabric to find the available commands.

Fabric User data functions (Preview)

The Fabric User data functions (Preview) extension supplies additional functionality for authoring, testing, and deploying user data functions in Fabric.

Requirements

In order to use all the features of this extension, you need to have the following installed:

What is User data functions?

Microsoft Fabric User data functions is a serverless solution that enables you to quickly and easily write custom logic for your data solutions in Microsoft Fabric. User data functions are invoked as HTTP requests to a service-provided endpoint and they operate on your Fabric-native data sources.

Features

The supported features are:

  • Create new user data functions in your Fabric workspace.
  • Manage your user data functions in Fabric from within VS Code.
    • View libraries.
    • View connections.
    • View functions.
  • Open and edit your user data functions locally.
  • Add new functions, run, and debug data functions locally with breakpoints.
  • Refresh connections, and libraries for your user data functions item.
  • Publish local changes to Fabric.
