QOA Preview for VS Code

This is an extension that allows playing of Quite OK Audio (QOA) audio files.

This is designed to be similar to the built-in audio player VS Code uses for WAV, MP3, etc.

Installation

Download the latest VSIX from the Releases page and install it to VS Code:

wget https://github.com/braheezy/vscode-qoa-preview/releases/download/v0.1.0/qoa-preview-0.1.0.vsix
code --install-extension qoa-preview-0.1.0.vsix

Usage

Click on a QOA file, and play it! There is support for:

• Play/pause
• Mute
• Seek

To convert audio files to and from the QOA format, or for a more featured player, check out goqoa!

Extension Settings

There are no settings.

Development

This project uses Bun as it's JavaScript runtime, so ensure that's installed.

I found it quicker to iterate on the HTML/JS/CSS outside of VS Code, so that's what in test/ and it can be hosted with bun run local. Those files are not 100% copy-paste-able to the extension code, so watch out.

Once you're ready to test in VS Code, you should be able to press F5 in this project to auto-launch the debug config. You'll want to open the Web Developer Tools using the Command Palette for classic web dev debugging tools.

src/ contains:

• extension.ts: The main entry point for the extension. Boilerplate.
• qoaDecoder.js: Vendored QOA decoder
• qoaPreview.ts: The main logic for the extension, and notably, where the HTML template is.
• media/: JS/CSS/SVG assets for rendering.

To package the extension into a VSIX file:

bun run package
