Installation Guide

RouteCase can be installed either directly from the Visual Studio Marketplace or manually via an offline VSIX package.

Method 1: Visual Studio Marketplace (Recommended)

Open Visual Studio Code.
Open the Extensions view by pressing Ctrl+Shift+X (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+X (macOS).
In the search bar, type:
```
RouteCase
```
Look for RouteCase — API Route & Endpoint Tester published by UtkarshKumar.
Click Install.

Or install directly from your terminal:

code --install-extension UtkarshKumar.routecase

If you are working in an air-gapped enterprise environment without internet access or testing a custom build:

Install via command line:

code --install-extension routecase-0.2.0.vsix --force

Or inside VS Code:
- Go to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X).
- Click the ... (Views and More Actions) menu in the top-right corner.
- Select Install from VSIX…
- Choose the downloaded .vsix file.

To verify that RouteCase is active:

Open any workspace folder.
Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P).
Type:
```
RouteCase: Create Example Test File
```
If RouteCase prompts you with a list of template suites, installation was successful!

Marketplace Installations: VS Code updates extensions automatically by default. You can also manually check for updates in the Extensions view (Check for Extension Updates).
Offline VSIX Installations: Simply repeat the manual installation steps using the newer .vsix file. Your .rcase test files will never be modified or overwritten during updates.
