QiloBack DSL — VS Code extension

Syntax highlighting, schema validation, snippets and qiloback validate integration for qiloback.yml manifests.

What you get

Schema validation against qiloback.dev/schema/v1.json — every field, every type, every option auto-completes and underlines invalid values inline.
Syntax highlighting for QiloBack-specific keywords (tenant_scoped, relations, permissions, hooks, cache) and the field-type / relation-type vocabularies.
Snippets for the canonical patterns: full manifest skeleton, entity, field types, relations, tenant config, feature flag.
qiloback validate on save — automatic local validation runs against the saved manifest and surfaces parse / validator errors in the Problems panel. Toggle with qiloback.validate.onSave.
Two commands in the palette: QiloBack: Validate Manifest and QiloBack: Open Documentation.

Install

From the Marketplace (post-publish):

ext install delixon-labs.qiloback-dsl

From a local .vsix (during dev):

cd tools/vscode-qiloback
npm install
npm run package
code --install-extension qiloback-dsl-*.vsix

Configuration

Setting	Default	Purpose
`qiloback.cli.path`	`qiloback`	Override the CLI binary path. Useful when running against a non-PATH install (a uv venv, a local build).
`qiloback.validate.onSave`	`true`	Run `qiloback validate` automatically on every save of a recognised manifest.

Publish flow

The extension is published to the Marketplace via vsce:

cd tools/vscode-qiloback
npm install
npm run compile
vsce publish minor             # or `vsce publish 0.2.0`

A future CI workflow (.github/workflows/vscode-extension-publish.yml) will automate the same flow on every extension/v* tag.
