Froth for VS Code

Live development for Froth hardware from inside VS Code.

What It Does

• Connects to a Froth device through the Froth daemon
• Sends the current line or selection with Cmd+Enter / Ctrl+Enter
• Sends the full file with reset + eval using Cmd+Shift+Enter / Ctrl+Shift+Enter
• Shows console output, device info, and interrupt controls in the editor

Requirements

• The froth CLI must be installed and available on PATH, or configured via froth.cliPath
• For device use, connect a supported Froth board over USB serial

Getting Started

1. Install the froth CLI.
2. Open a .froth file in VS Code.
3. Run Froth: Connect Device.
4. Press Cmd+Enter / Ctrl+Enter to evaluate the current line or selection.

Commands

• Froth: Connect Device
• Froth: Send Selection / Line
• Froth: Send File (Reset + Eval)
• Froth: Interrupt
• Froth: Reset to Baseline
• Froth: Save Snapshot
• Froth: Wipe Snapshots
• Froth: Run Doctor

Settings

• froth.cliPath: path to the Froth CLI binary. Leave empty to use froth from PATH.
• froth.localRuntimePath: path to the local POSIX Froth runtime used by Try Local.

Notes

• Send File uses the CLI's project-aware source resolution before sending code to the daemon.
• Try Local remains a developer-oriented path; hardware is the primary workflow.
