Silwright NDEF Language Support

Basic Visual Studio Code language support for Silwright .ndef and backend_cpp.map files.

Features

  • TextMate syntax highlighting for module, node, trait, choice, enum, end, value, transient, fixed, with, and allwith
  • Highlighting for * and | operators and // line comments
  • Declaration-name and field-name highlighting
  • Basic highlighting for backend_cpp.map mappings and @include directives
  • Semantic highlighting for NDEF field types, choice alternatives, and traits in with and allwith lists declared in the current .ndef file, plus field types mapped in the sibling backend_cpp.map
  • Diagnostics for field types that are neither declared in the .ndef file nor mapped in the sibling backend_cpp.map, unknown choice alternatives, and unknown traits in with and allwith lists
  • Folding and automatic indentation for node, trait, choice, and enum blocks
  • Toggle-line-comment support
  • Go to Definition for node, trait, choice, and enum references in the current file—including traits in with and allwith lists—and for mapped field types in the sibling backend_cpp.map
  • Document formatting for indentation, blank-line spacing, field colon placement, declaration spacing, trait-list commas, and | separator spacing
  • Optional format-on-save support through silwrightNdef.formatOnSave
  • Warning diagnostics for NDEF style conventions:
    • node, choice, trait, and enum definitions should use CamelCase
    • Node and trait field names should use snake_case

Settings

  • silwrightNdef.formatter.enabled: enables the NDEF document formatter. Defaults to true.
  • silwrightNdef.formatOnSave: formats NDEF files before saving. Defaults to false.
  • silwrightNdef.lint.style.enabled: enables naming-style warning diagnostics. Defaults to true.

Notes

The extension resolves declarations and backend mappings within the currently opened .ndef file and its sibling backend_cpp.map. It does not require a language server.
