ctx.registerDockPanelKind

Register a kind of center-dock tab (like the terminal) that workspaces can open by id. Register these early in activate, before anything opens a panel of the kind.

ctx.registerDockPanelKind<T extends object>(kind: DockPanelKind<T>): Disposable

Example

ctx.registerDockPanelKind({
  id: "acme.repl",
  component: ReplPanel, // receives DockPanelProps
});

The params generic T is inferred from the component's DockPanelProps<T> annotation, so a kind whose panels are opened with typed params registers without casts.

Types

Pass DockPanelKind.
