ESP32 Forum

Hello esp forum !

How is it possible to use extra components from esp-protocols repository from espressif with the vscode extension ?

There are paths options for other such as MDF etc but nothing to use other repositories.

Thanks for the help

Joel

Hi Joel,

You can add any of the components in esp-protocols to your project from IDF component registry.

For example, mdns can be found here: https://components.espressif.com/compon ... essif/mdns
You can add it either by running the "idf.py add-dependency "espressif/mdns^1.2.0" command in your project directory, or manually by adding the following to your_project/main/idf_component.yml file: (You can also add idf_component.yml to any other component directory, if the code which uses the external component is not under "main".)

Additionally, it is possible to create projects from examples of external components. This currently works only from the CLI.
Support for this in VS Code extension is in progress: https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp ... n/pull/994
