How to tell VsCodium and VsCode apart?

Question

Without having done the installation myself, is there an easy way to check (maybe from within the application) if it is VsCode or VsCodium?

Answer 1

The env namespace has a property appName that lets you tell apart which version is running.

Example

import { env } from 'vscode';

switch (env.appName) {
  case 'VSCodium':
    console.log('You are using VSCodium');
    break;

  case 'Visual Studio Code':
    console.log('You are using Visual Studio Code');
    break;

  default:
    console.log('You are using ome other flavour of VSCode');
    break;
}
