DALI VS Code Syntax

This folder contains a local VS Code language extension for .dali and .dl files.

Features

• Syntax highlighting for core DSL keywords (preset, engine, chain, quality, etc.)
• Effect names (preamp, eq32, peaking, limiter, ...)
• Number + unit tokens (hz, ms, db, x)
• // comments, string literals, operators, and property keys
• Snippets: dali-preset, dali-eq32, dali-limiter, dali-legacy-fx
• Autocomplete for blocks, parameter keys, and common values
• Diagnostics: warns on unknown block/effect names in DALI files

Use In Development Host (Fastest)

1. Open dali-lang/editors/vscode in VS Code.
2. Press F5 to launch Extension Development Host.
3. Open your project in the new host window.
4. .dali and .dl files will use DALI language mode.

Package As VSIX (Optional)

cd dali-lang/editors/vscode
npx @vscode/vsce package

Then in VS Code: Extensions -> ... -> Install from VSIX... and pick the generated .vsix file.
