Language support for Niral — the zero-dependency,
compiler-first full-stack web framework. Rich editing for .niral single-file
components.
Features
Syntax highlighting for .niral files — including embedded highlighting inside
<server> blocks (JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Go), <script>, <style> (CSS)
and { expressions }.
Completions, diagnostics and hover docs via the built-in Niral language server
(niral lsp) — runes ($state, $props, $derived), server ambients
(load, publish, live, enqueue, sql, session, user) and routing.
Bracket matching, auto-closing pairs and comment toggling tuned for .niral.
Getting started
npx create-niral my-app
cd my-app
niral dev
Open any .niral file — highlighting and IntelliSense work immediately.
Great with AI agents
Every Niral project scaffolds an AGENTS.md, so GitHub Copilot, Claude and Cursor
understand the framework's conventions natively instead of guessing. New projects
also recommend this extension automatically via .vscode/extensions.json, and agents
can verify their own edits with niral check (the real TypeScript compiler) and niral test.
Requirements
Node.js 22+ — Niral is Node standard library, end to end.
The niral CLI — installed with your project (npx create-niral) or globally.
If the extension can't find it, set niral.serverPath to bin/niral.js.
