Add Support for Settings Object and Arrays in Customizable Sync

[rfgamaral]

I've read the documentation but I can't seem to understand how to do this...

There's this setting that I need to have the following settings:

Home:

"vscode_custom_css.imports": [
    "file:///C:/Users/HomeUsername/.vscode/ui-theme.css"
]

Work:

"vscode_custom_css.imports": [
    "file:///C:/Users/WorkUsername/.vscode/ui-theme.css"
]

Is this possible with the current version (2.6.2) of this extension?

For now it only supports the text values of settings file, i will add support for arrays and object.

Still, even if it was just a text value, how can I have 2 different values for each computer? From the docs, I can't understand the configuration needed to make that work.

In this syncLocalSettings.json
in One computer setting set as

"replaceCodeSettings": 
    {
        "http.proxy" :"ABC",
     }

in second computer setting set as

"replaceCodeSettings": 
    {
        "http.proxy" :"DEF",
     }

When you download the setting, the respective value will be replaced in that setting.

Great. Now I just have to wait for object/array support :)

Couldn't get it to work on my machines.

This feature will be removed in the future updates.
Settings Sync will have new way for customizing #555 configurations.

You can comment over there, and improve the upcoming feature by discussion.
