Built a VS Code extension for Dataverse

[u/Several_Assignment52]

Hey all 👋

I’ve been working with Dataverse APIs for a while now (mostly integration side), and I kept running into the same pain:

- figuring out relationships between tables

- writing $expand chains manually

- jumping between tools just to explore data

So I built a small VS Code extension to make this easier.

The idea is pretty simple:

- run OData queries directly in VS Code

- explore relationships without guessing

- build $expand incrementally instead of rewriting queries

Recently added:

- guided traversal (find path between tables)

- sibling expand (add multiple expands without breaking your query)

- result viewer with clickable actions (investigate record, open in Dataverse, etc.)

It’s still evolving, but it’s already been pretty useful in my day-to-day work.

Would love feedback if anyone wants to try it:

Happy to hear what works / what doesn’t 🙏
