Create a new ContextProvider

[sestinj]

A ContextProvider is what allows you to type '@' and select from a dropdown of related items, potentially including GitHub Issues, local files, Jira Tickets, and more.

Docs for building a ContextProvider are here.

You can also read more about CustomContextProviders in the documentation. These live in your own config.ts file and might be a good way of learning.

Some ideas:

• Jira Tickets
• Slack Messages
• Stack Overflow search
• Contents of a URL

Hey @sestinj, I noticed this ticket is still open and doesn’t seem to be assigned to anyone yet. Would it be alright if I pick it up?

[sestinj]

@malaki12003 I noticed you sent this message to multiple issues. Is there one that you are most interested in trying first?

[malaki12003]

@sestinj Thanks for the response! I'm particularly interested in starting with one of the issues, but since the board hasn't been updated, I looked at several interesting ones. I'm open to your suggestion if there's another issue that's more urgent or impactful. Let me know what you think!

[sestinj]

I think I would actually recommend looking through the issues on the Continue repository.

Depending on whether you'd prefer something related to React, or VSCode, or something else, I'm happy to point you toward something, but you are also welcome to browse

[malaki12003]

@sestinj Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll go ahead and browse through the Continue repository. I’m comfortable with React, Kotlin, Java, GitLabCI, Shell script, JavaScript, C++, Python, Go, IntelliJ, and VSCode, so if there’s a specific issue that would be a good fit or a priority, feel free to point me to it. Otherwise, I’ll pick this current one and get started. Thanks again!

I think that this would be a really great place to start: continuedev/continue#2487
