VSCode命令行参数

Question

Can I access to VSCode command line parameters via extension? Eg, as Extension's predefined variable(like ${file}), as parameter for special constructor for Extension or auto-running task? For example, if I start VSCode like:

code --myParam 10

Can I access the value of 'myParam' from my own extension or is there any other way to pass some parameter inside to the extension from command line options?

I found an answer by myself. The secret was that VSCode can be launched by special URL, where you can add your own query parameters and then handle them in your extension. Example of the URL:

vscode://sergey.custom-plugin/customCommand?args={"param1":1, "param2":"cusomOption"}

Arguments can be passed at JSON format without any limitations. For this, we need to implement vscode.UriHandler . Example of such a realization can be found here . Hope this info can be helpful to someone.
