EIPC Language Support

Language support for Electron IPC schema files (.eipc).

Features

• Syntax highlighting - Colors for keywords, types, strings, comments
• Error diagnostics - Real-time parse error detection
• Auto-completion - Suggests keywords, types, validators, tags
• Hover information - Shows type details on hover
• Go to definition - Jump to type, validator, and zod reference definitions

Zod Reference Support

When using zod_reference, the extension provides go-to-definition support that navigates to the TypeScript source file containing your Zod schema:

zod_reference Email {
    import = "./schemas"
    type = "Email"
    schema = "emailSchema"
}

Ctrl+Click (Cmd+Click on Mac) on Email to jump to the TypeScript file.
