The VS Code FTL extension provides support for FTL within VSCode including LSP integration and useful commands for manageing FTL projects.

Requirements

• FTL 0.169.0 or newer

Quick Start

1. Install FTL 0.169.0 or newer.

2. Install this extension.

3. Open any FTL project with a ftl-project.toml or ftl.toml file.

4. The extension will prompt to start the FTL development server.

Settings

Configure the FTL extension by setting the following options in your Visual Studio Code settings.json:

• ftl.executablePath: Specifies the path to the FTL executable. The default is "ftl", which uses the system's PATH to find the executable.

  [!IMPORTANT] If you have installed FTL with hermit (or other dependency management tools), you may need to specify the path to the FTL binary in the extension settings.

  {
    "ftl.executablePath": "bin/ftl"`
  }
  

• ftl.devCommandFlags: Defines flags to pass to the FTL executable when starting the development environment.

  {
    "ftl.devCommandFlags": ["--parallelism=4"]
  }
  

• ftl.automaticallyStartServer: Controls if and when to automatically start the FTL development server. Available options are "always" and "never". If not set, the extension will prompt to start the server when opening a FTL project.

  {
    "ftl.automaticallyStartServer": "always"
  }
