Access tokens are indispensable for private repositories.
We highly suggest adding your access token if you use public repositories to avoid API restrictions :

Step 1: Create your access token by visiting the following links: Github, Gitlab

Step 2: Open the command palette in Visual Studio Code:
Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Command+Shift+P (Mac)

Step 3: Type the appropriate command based on your provider:

1. Example project architecture:

     .
     ├── .docx.json
     ├── myFile.ts
     └── myDoc.md
   

   .docx.json:

   {
     "associations": {
       "myFile.ts": ["myDoc.md"]
     }
   }

2. Open a file linked to a documentation, e.g., "myFile.ts." and click on the button "doc" in the top right corner of the screen.

3. Choose the documentation you're interested in from the list.

4. Enjoy your documentation.

• Ability to link a file or folder to one or multiple documentations.

Note: The extension will add the following configuration to your Visual Studio Code user settings.json:

"json.schemas": [
    {
        "fileMatch": [
            "/.docx.json"
        ],
        "url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mehdi-Verfaillie/docx/main/src/config/.docx.schema.json"
    }
]

This configuration ensures that Visual Studio Code recognizes the .docx.json file format and provides schema support.
