Incompatible with the vscode docs and environment

[crcdng]

The instructions in the Getting Started Guide are incompatible with the vscode environment and with the documentation.

The official guides to build a webview extension and to use a bundler are:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-webview-ui-toolkit/blob/main/docs/getting-started.md,
https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/webview
and
https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/bundling-extension

As mentioned in #556, the guide is too long and contradicts the instructions in https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/webview and in https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/bundling-extension

As mentioned in #546, the required esbuild version (16.x) is not supported by the vscode extension environment anymore and leads to build errors.

To reproduce

Follow the instructions to create an extension, then build a webview extension and add esbuild.

Now attempt to add the toolkit following the Getting Started Guide.

Expected behavior

The Getting Started Guide should

• document the toolkit only (not explain how to create a vscode extension from scratch) and
• build on / refer to the existing vscode documentation instead.

This minimizes the possibility that both documentations go out of sync.

The toolkit itself should be in sync with the current vscode extension dependencies. Concretely this means supporting esbuild >= 0.17.x but in general this should be a test case.

Hi,

The Getting Started Guide cannot be applied with a recent installation of generator-code... various errors appear during the setup of the example.
In particular in relation to:

• Impact of FAST Project Re-alignment #555

But not only... also src/webview/main.ts must be a module...

Thanks.
