Hi @Orangewithsugar,

There are some resources you can consult: First you can take a look at the official documentation.

If you don't find what you are looking for, then I would recommend taking a look at the Theia codebase itself. We have a lot of examples in-repo used in the example applications.

If you can't find a matchig example, you could look through the Theia extensions which are part of the repository. Conceptually there is no difference between Theia extensions offered via the core repository and extensions you write yourself, they have the same capabilities. So for example if you want to create a view which integrates similar to the output view or the memory inspector, then you can check how they were implemented and do the same for your view.

Ty for your reply!!
So let's take this as a example:

You could look through the Theia extensions which are part of the repository.

How should I find these implementations eg: memory inspector or outline

[sdirix]

These are located in the @theia/outline-view package and @theia/memory-inspector package

Oh i see, i will take a look at these extensions and try follow them to get a better understanding of theia development, tyvm!!
