<h2>ECLIPSE THEIA - PREFERENCES EXTENSION</h2>

<hr />

</div>

## Description

The `@theia/preferences` extension implements the preferences API defined in `@theia/core`, including the four preference providers:

- `Default` Preference, which serves as default values of preferences,
- `User` Preference for the user home directory, which has precedence over the default values,
- `Workspace` Preference for the workspace, which has precedence over User Preference, and
- `Folder` Preference for the root folder, which has precedence over the Workspace Preference

To set:

- `User` Preferences: Create or edit a `settings.json` under the `.theia` folder located either in the user home.
- `Workspace` Preference: If one folder is opened as the workspace, create or edit a `settings.json` under the root of the workspace. If a multi-root workspace is opened, create or edit the "settings" property in the workspace file.
- `Folder` Preferences: Create or edit a `settings.json` under any of the root folders.

Example of a `settings.json` below:

```typescript
{
    // Enable/Disable the line numbers in the monaco editor
 "editor.lineNumbers": "off",
    // Tab width in the editor
 "editor.tabSize": 4,
 "files.watcherExclude": "path/to/file"
}
```

Example of a workspace file below:

```typescript
{
   "folders": [
      {
         "path": "file:///home/username/helloworld"
   },
   {
         "path": "file:///home/username/dev/byeworld"
      }
   ],
   "settings": {
      // Enable/Disable the line numbers in the monaco editor
   "editor.lineNumbers": "off",
      // Tab width in the editor
   "editor.tabSize": 4,
   }
}
```
