extension.json -The AL Config File Every D365 Business Central DEV Should Master

Jeffrey Bulanadi Profile Picture Jeffrey Bulanadi 8,748

Here’s your weekly dose of #BCWeekendCodeHacks for #msdyn365BC developers.


Real talk: extensions.json is the BC development file nobody talks about, but everyone should use.


Picture this: New developer joins your team. "What VS Code extensions do I need?" You spend 30 minutes listing them. They install most. Miss some. Wrong versions. Things break. You troubleshoot.


Sound familiar? extensions.json eliminates this forever.


It's like creating a shopping list for your entire team's dev setup. New dev clones your repo → VS Code says "Install these?" → One click → Done.


Let me walk you through this configuration file that EVERY BC team should use:


✅ Automates extension installation

✅ Keeps everyone's setup identical

✅ 20+ essential extensions explained

✅ Translation tools for multilingual projects

✅ Step-by-step guide to build your own

✅ Full walkthrough with working code
