How to (guide) enable data grid/ table viewer in VSCode? Saw screenshot of this on [julia-vscode homepage](https://www.julia-vscode.org/) but [documentation](https://www.julia-vscode.org/docs/dev/userguide/grid/) is still empty. Appreciate your advise @davidanthoff. Thanks.

In the VSCode Julia REPL, do

```julia
julia> vscodedisplay(x)

```

where `x` is a table-like object (DataFrame, matrix, etc).

Tried that (found this command in ver. 0.12 release notes), but don’t think I get it correctly. REPL spits out error as below. “df” is my DataFrames. Is there a way to have similar setup like Juno in Atom?

```julia
julia> vscodedisplay(df)
ERROR: UndefVarError: df not defined
Stacktrace:

Have you run the file in the REPL?

I run the script via CTRL+F5 command.

Ctrl+F5 runs the file in the debugger, right? In that case the REPL won’t see the file. In the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) there is a command `Julia: Execute File`. Try doing that?

Yes, that does the trick! Thanks.

Wondering if something similar or more convenient as Juno Workspace is available?

I believe a workspace view is in the works.

Take a look at their [pull request page](https://github.com/julia-vscode/julia-vscode/pulls). Lots of features are coming.
