🔥 Features
The extension displays additional information on hover for some components and validates the config file on open.
Hover
The hover feature provides three different types of information.
The function registry
Functions within the config file are registered within spaCy's registry system. When one of these functions is hovered over, the feature will provide information about the function and its arguments, along with a link to the code for the function, if available.
Resolving references to variables
Variables are denoted in the config file as ${<variable-name>}. When a variable is hovered over, the feature will provide the value of that variable specified in the config file.
Section titles
The config system is separated by sections such as [training.batcher] or [components]. When a section, such as "training" or "components", or subsection, such as "batcher", is hovered over, the feature will provide a description of it, if available.
