TPL Extension

The TPL extension is a powerful tool for developers who work with TPL scripting. It provides a comprehensive set of features to streamline your TPL development workflow within Visual Studio Code.

[!NOTE] TPL allows kotlin code injection, to enable syntax highlighting for it make sure to have an extension installed which contains syntax highlighting for kotlin. We recommend using Kotlin Language extension by mathiasfrohlich.

Features

1. Syntax Highlighting

Enjoy syntax highlighting and code completion for .tpl files. The extension defines a language configuration specifically for TPL, providing a more intuitive editing experience.

2. Code Snippets

Boost your TPL development speed with pre-written code snippets. The extension offers a collection of commonly used TPL constructs to help you write code faster and more efficiently.

3. Integrated Debugger

Run/Debug your TPL scripts with ease. Set breakpoints, step through your code line-by-line, and inspect variables to identify and resolve issues efficiently.

3. Click "Run TPL File" from title menu in the top right side of VS Code. The extension will execute the script using the configured interpreter.

Using Code Snippets

1. Open a .tpl file in VS Code.
2. Start typing a common TPL construct (e.g., "var", "fun").
3. As you type, VS Code will suggest relevant code snippets from the TPL extension.
4. Select the appropriate snippet to insert it into your code.

Customization

You can customize some aspects of the TPL extension through your VS Code settings:

• tpl.interpreterPath: Set the path to your TPL interpreter JAR file.
