external-consumers

name	external-consumers
description	Known external consumers of APIs from this monorepo's extensions. Use when changing public API surfaces (activate return types, exported types, services sub-objects), evaluating breaking changes, removing exports, or checking if anything uses a given API member.

External Consumers

Other repos consume APIs from this monorepo's extensions. Some are private.

• Exported extension APIs = public contracts
• Remove/change field, method, behavior = breaking
• Add field = non-breaking
• Cannot grep this monorepo alone — must check external repos
• Consumers version-gate (semver.satisfies) — major bump alone insufficient

On-demand validation via gh CLI

# search specific repo
gh api -X GET "search/code?q=SYMBOL+repo:forcedotcom/REPO&per_page=20" \
  --jq '.items[] | "\(.path)"'

# read file from private repo
gh api repos/forcedotcom/REPO/contents/PATH --jq '.content' | base64 -d

# search all forcedotcom repos
gh api -X GET "search/code?q=SYMBOL+org:forcedotcom&per_page=30" \
  --jq '.items[] | "\(.repository.name): \(.path)"'

# search salesforcecli org too
gh api -X GET "search/code?q=SYMBOL+org:salesforcecli&per_page=30" \
  --jq '.items[] | "\(.repository.name): \(.path)"'

Rate limit ~30 req/min on search API. Use contents API for targeted reads.

Direct core API consumers (SalesforceVSCodeCoreApi)

Via vscode.extensions.getExtension('salesforce.salesforcedx-vscode-core').exports:

Repo	Visibility	Consumed
einstein-gpt	Private	services.{ChannelService,WorkspaceContext,SalesforceProjectConfig,CommandEventDispatcher}, workspaceContextUtils.getOrgShape
vscode-agents	Public	services.{ChannelService,TelemetryService,WorkspaceContext}
metadata-visualizer	Private	services.TelemetryService
code-analyzer	Public	services.WorkspaceContext (direct), telemetry via service-provider

@salesforce/vscode-service-provider consumers

Repo (public) — abstraction bridging to core services. Still depends on core being active.

Repo	Service
code-analyzer	ServiceType.Telemetry
einstein-gpt	ServiceType.Telemetry

extensionDependency-only (no API consumption)

Repo	Visibility	Notes
ui-preview	Private	Activation ordering only. Uses bundled WorkspaceContextUtil from utils-vscode.

No current core dependency

Repo	Notes
slds	No extensionDep, no getExtension. In same extension pack.
apex-language-support	Experimental. String refs only in tests/comments.

In-repo consumers

IMPORTANT: In-repo packages access core API via TWO patterns:

1. Wrapper functions in coreExtensionUtils.ts (easy to grep)
2. Direct .exports.MEMBER() calls scattered across source files (easy to miss)

Always grep for \.exports\.\w+ across the full monorepo, not just coreExtensionUtils.ts.

Package	Files	Members accessed
apex	coreExtensionUtils.ts, index.ts, languageServer.ts	.WorkspaceContext, .services.TelemetryService, .getAuthFields, .services.SalesforceProjectConfig
apex-debugger	coreExtensionUtils.ts, index.ts, debugConfigurationProvider.ts	.channelService, .SfCommandlet, .telemetryService, .SfCommandletExecutor, .isCLIInstalled
apex-replay-debugger	index.ts, checkpointService.ts, quickLaunch.ts, debugConfigurationProvider.ts	.services.WorkspaceContext, .getUserId
apex-oas	coreExtensionUtils.ts, index.ts, oasUtils.ts, externalServiceRegistrationManager.ts, auraEnabledStrategy.ts	.WorkspaceContext, .services.SalesforceProjectConfig, .services.RegistryAccess, .services.WorkspaceContext
utils-vscode	authUtils.ts, workspaceContextUtil.ts, telemetryUtils.ts	.sharedAuthState, .channelService, .getSharedTelemetryUserId (phantom — not on API type)

Keeping current

Verified 2026-04-29. Before asserting "nobody uses X":

1. Grep monorepo for \.exports\.MEMBER — catches direct access outside wrapper files
2. Search org:forcedotcom and org:salesforcecli via gh api
3. Read private repos via contents API
4. Check extensionPack in salesforcedx-vscode and salesforcedx-vscode-expanded for new extensions
