Installation

Install the extension from the VSCode Marketplace.

The extension does not bundle the language server. It launches the craft-ls binary already installed on your system:

uv tool install craft-ls
# or
pipx install craft-ls

(See also the snap and the nix flake packages.)

If no craft-ls binary is found on your PATH, the extension shows a warning when it starts.

Configuration

{
    // Explicit path to the craft-ls executable.
    // Leave empty to resolve the binary from the PATH.
    "craft-ls.serverPath": "/home/user/.local/bin/craft-ls"
}

After changing the setting, run the Craft-ls: Restart Server command.

Development

npm install
npm run watch        # esbuild watch mode
npm run lint         # typecheck + eslint
npm run vsce-package # build the VSIX
