Summary

Couchbase Lite has released a plugin for Visual Studio Code that allows users to inspect and manage their databases in a rich, graphical, cross-platform setting. This plugin extends the capabilities of the text editor by providing CRUD operations, including listing documents, editing documents, querying databases, and more. The plugin is open source and can be found on GitHub, with straightforward build instructions. It uses a stable tested build of the Couchbase Lite library underneath to provide functionality, and it's currently available as a prerelease number, but is expected to become fully stable in the future. With this plugin, users can explore their databases more easily, and it provides an excellent introduction to Couchbase Lite databases outside of the context of Couchbase Lite itself.
