Configuration
This extension contributes the following settings:
cddl.maxNumberOfProblems: Controls the maximum number of problems produced by the server (default: 100)cddl.trace.server: Traces the communication between VS Code and the language server (default: "off")cddl.formatting.enabled: Enable/disable CDDL document formatting (default: true)cddl.diagnostics.trailingCommas: Enable/disable trailing comma warnings (default: true)
To disable CDDL formatting, add this to your VS Code settings:
{
"cddl.formatting.enabled": false
}
When disabled, the "Format Document" command and automatic formatting will not modify CDDL content.

To disable trailing comma warnings, add this to your VS Code settings:
{
"cddl.diagnostics.trailingCommas": false
}
When disabled, the language server will not show warnings about potentially unnecessary trailing commas.
