nandorojo-tamagui

A VSCode extension for autocompleting Tamagui styles.

Setup

After installing the extension, you can add .vscode/settings.json in your repo with the following configuration.

You should give the path to where your auto-generated .tamagui folder lives. If you have a Next.js website in your repo, then this folder is likely apps/next:

{
  "nandorojo-tamagui.configPath": "apps/next"
}

Be sure to replace apps/next that with the relative path to your .tamagui from the root of your repo.

If, for some reason, you want to point directly to a JSON file instead of using the one generated by .tamagui, you can do that too:

{
  "nandorojo-tamagui.configPath": "path-to-my/tamagui.config.json"
}

Be sure that the JSON file you export conforms to the same shape as the auto-generated one.

Contribute

Clone the GitHub repo, then install dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/nandorojo/tamagui-intellisense.git
yarn

Then see the ./vsc-extension-quickstart.md for how to run the extension in VSCode. Below is essentially what you'll do.

Start the dev server in VSCode by Pressing F5 (or fn + F5 on Mac). It should open a new window for testing. In that window, you should create a folder (let's say test-folder) with a tamagui config in it.

• test-folder/tamagui.config.ts

import { shorthands } from "@tamagui/shorthands"
import { themes, tokens } from "@tamagui/themes"
import { createFont, createTamagui } from "tamagui"

export default createTamagui({
  themes,
  tokens,
  shorthands,
})

• test-folder/test.ts

declare function styled(a: any, obj: { bg?: string }): any
const View = 1

styled(View, {
  bg: "$",
})

And try the autocomplete there.

Development

When you make changes in src/server.js, you have to click the little green refresh at the top of your main VSCode window to see them update in the test window.

This could probably be fixed with a watch script but I haven't done it. The reason: Webpack bundles everything in dist in one file, but we're referencing the server.js file in client.ts which won't get resolved post-build if we use TS. So we have to restart the server to see changes.

In your test window, put a tamagui.config.ts in the root to make it simple.
