Providers

Enabling Providers

In the settings.json, ff the provider object does not contain a provider's settings, this provider will be disabled.

Providers can also be disabled explicitly by setting the Provider's settings' field enabled at false. For example:

// In settings.json
{
  //... Other properties
  "providers": {
    "provider1": {}, // Provider 1 is enabled
    // Provider 2 was not specified, it is therefore disabled
    "provider3": {
      "enabled": true // Provider 3 is enabled
    },
    "provider4": {
      "enabled": false, // Provider 4 is disabled
      "apiKey": "" // Other property of provider 4
    } 
  }
}

If a provider is disabled, no call to its service will be done.
