adfmt for VS Code

VS Code integration for Alfa's D Formatter.

The repository includes the version-matched adfmt-0.2.2.vsix package for offline installation and release verification.

Features

  • Formats D documents with adfmt.
  • Registers .d files as the d language even when no separate D extension is installed.
  • Enables editor.formatOnSave and selects alfa.adfmt as the default D formatter unless the user or workspace overrides those settings.
  • Recognizes extensionless .adfmt files as YAML.
  • Provides validation, completion, and hover documentation for .adfmt through the Red Hat YAML extension.
  • Uses the nearest .adfmt file because the formatter runs with the source document's directory as its working directory.
  • Creates or opens a project .adfmt file with the adfmt: Create or Open Configuration command.
  • Rejects in-place CLI arguments that are incompatible with VS Code's standard-input formatting protocol.
  • Stops formatter processes that exceed the configurable timeout.
  • Detects the default Inno Setup installation at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\adfmt\adfmt.exe on Windows.

Requirements

Install adfmt and make it available on PATH. Alternatively, set:

{
  "adfmt.executablePath": "/absolute/path/to/adfmt"
}

The Red Hat YAML extension is installed automatically as an extension dependency.

For full D syntax highlighting, completion, diagnostics, and navigation, install code-d. Keep d.enableFormatting disabled when using adfmt so code-d's dfmt integration does not compete with this formatter.

Settings

  • adfmt.executablePath: executable path or command name.
  • adfmt.arguments: additional command-line arguments.
  • adfmt.formatTimeout: formatting timeout in milliseconds.
  • adfmt.trace.server: output-channel logging level.

Commands

  • adfmt: Check Installation: verifies that the configured executable starts.
  • adfmt: Create or Open Configuration: creates a minimal .adfmt in the selected workspace folder, or opens the existing file.
  • adfmt: Show Output: opens formatter diagnostics.
