插件介绍
我们的官网静态站点 https://flashcat.cloud 是用 hugo 搭建的，站点里的页面都是使用 markdown 格式编辑的，尤其是博客和文档页面。页面一开始的部分如下所示：
title: "this is title"
description: ""
keywords: ["vscode"]
author: "巴辉特"
date: "2025-03-28T15:16:11.007+08:00"
lastmod: "2025-03-28T15:25:37.094+08:00"
为了 SEO 友好，每次新建页面的时候要配置 date 字段，每次修改页面的时候，又要更新 lastmod 字段为当前时间，每次手动输入这个时间有点麻烦，所以我写了一个 vscode 插件，方便在 hugo markdown 中输入 ISO 8601 格式的时间。如果你也需要，在 vscode 插件市场搜索 insertisodate，就能找到这个插件了。
使用方法也很简单，在你想要输出时间的地方，按下 Command + Shift + P（ Windows 下面可能是 Ctrl + Shift + P ），输入 Insert ISO Date，就能插入当前时间了。
插件原理
插件编写非常简单，我是参考这个文章走通的整个流程。核心代码如下：
// The module 'vscode' contains the VS Code extensibility API
// Import the module and reference it with the alias vscode in your code below
const vscode = require('vscode');
function formatCurrentTime() {
const currentTime = new Date();
const year = currentTime.getFullYear();
const month = String(currentTime.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
const day = String(currentTime.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
const hours = String(currentTime.getHours()).padStart(2, '0');
const minutes = String(currentTime.getMinutes()).padStart(2, '0');
const seconds = String(currentTime.getSeconds()).padStart(2, '0');
const milliseconds = String(currentTime.getMilliseconds()).padStart(3, '0');
const timezoneOffset = -currentTime.getTimezoneOffset();
const timezoneHours = String(Math.floor(Math.abs(timezoneOffset) / 60)).padStart(2, '0');
const timezoneMinutes = String(Math.abs(timezoneOffset) % 60).padStart(2, '0');
const timezoneSign = timezoneOffset >= 0 ? '+' : '-';
const timezone = `${timezoneSign}${timezoneHours}:${timezoneMinutes}`;
return `${year}-${month}-${day}T${hours}:${minutes}:${seconds}.${milliseconds}${timezone}`;
}
// This method is called when your extension is activated
// Your extension is activated the very first time the command is executed
/**
* @param {vscode.ExtensionContext} context
*/
function activate(context) {
// Use the console to output diagnostic information (console.log) and errors (console.error)
// This line of code will only be executed once when your extension is activated
console.log('Congratulations, your extension "insertisodate" is now active!');
// The command has been defined in the package.json file
// Now provide the implementation of the command with registerCommand
// The commandId parameter must match the command field in package.json
const disposable = vscode.commands.registerCommand('insertisodate.insert', function () {
let editor = vscode.window.activeTextEditor;
if (!editor) {
return;
}
// get current date
let dateString = formatCurrentTime();
editor.edit(function (text) {
// get current selection
let selection = editor.selection;
if (!selection.isEmpty) {
// Replace selected text with dateString
text.replace(selection, dateString);
} else {
// Insert dateString at current cursor position
let startLine = selection.start.line;
let startCharacter = selection.start.character;
text.insert(new vscode.Position(startLine, startCharacter), dateString);
}
});
});
context.subscriptions.push(disposable);
}
// This method is called when your extension is deactivated
function deactivate() { }
module.exports = {
activate,
deactivate
}
其中，formatCurrentTime 是一个工具方法，让 ChatGPT 生成的，其他代码是插件框架代码，由框架脚手架生成的，最核心的逻辑是下面几行代码：
// get current date
let dateString = formatCurrentTime();
editor.edit(function (text) {
// get current selection
let selection = editor.selection;
if (!selection.isEmpty) {
// Replace selected text with dateString
text.replace(selection, dateString);
} else {
// Insert dateString at current cursor position
let startLine = selection.start.line;
let startCharacter = selection.start.character;
text.insert(new vscode.Position(startLine, startCharacter), dateString);
}
});
这段代码的意思是，如果当前有选中的文本，就用当前时间替换掉选中的文本；如果没有选中的文本，就在光标处插入当前时间。这样就能实现我们想要的功能了。这个项目的代码我放到 github 上了，地址如下 👇
