Neko-CLI Support Icon Empower your Neko-CLI workflow within Visual Studio Code! 🐾 This extension provides comprehensive language support and productivity enhancements for your .neko configuration files, making development smoother, faster, and more enjoyable.

✨ Features

Unleash the full potential of your .neko files with these powerful features:

  • Syntax Highlighting: 🎨 Beautifully colored syntax for .neko files, improving readability and making your configurations a breeze to parse visually.
  • Intelligent Formatting: 🧹 Keep your .neko files pristine with automatic, consistent indentation. Say goodbye to manual alignment!
    • Note: While we strive for perfection, due to underlying YAML library constraints, some highly specific inline comments might not be fully preserved during formatting. We recommend full-line comments for critical notes!
  • Smart Code Completion: 💡 Accelerate your coding with intelligent suggestions for common keys like dependencies, devDependencies, and essential package properties (version, resolved, integrity). Type less, build more!
  • Real-time Validation: ✅ Catch errors and potential issues as you type! Our robust validation identifies missing required properties or structural inconsistencies, guiding you to perfect configurations.
  • Contextual Hover Info: ❓ Get instant explanations and helpful details when you hover over Neko-CLI specific keywords and properties. No more guessing games!

  1. Open Visual Studio Code.
