F5 Networks iRule Extension

F5 Networks iRule extension for Visual Studio Code. This extension gives Tcl based iRule language support for Visual Studio Code including syntax and intelliSense support for iRule events, commands and statements, up to BIG-IP v17.1.

Intellisense

This extension provides some code completion with Intellisense.

Code Formatting

Code formatting is included. The code formatting at this point will attempt to correctly tab out an iRule, but will not split or join lines.

Tcl Helpers

Added the "irule: Escape Selections to Tcl Quoted String" command to assist with pasting data into iRules.

Diagnostics

Diagnostics will highlight some potential double-substitution issues, such as commands that work on expressions missing curly braces, commands that take options missing a --terminator, and when clauses missing priority.
