Synx for Visual Studio Code

Language support for Synx, a compiled language with ownership and borrowing, C-style syntax, and a self-hosted compiler.

Features

Syntax colors for .snx files, including string interpolation ("sum {a + b}"), nested block comments, and /// doc comments.
Comment toggling, bracket matching, auto-closing pairs, and indentation.
Snippets: main, fn, struct, enum, trait, impl, if, ifelse, for, foreach, while, loop, match, matchopt, matchres, import, and print.
Compiler errors in the editor. The extension runs synx check when you open or save a file. Errors in imported files show on those files.
Synx: Run File and Synx: Build File run the compiler in the terminal panel. The Run and Build buttons are in the editor title bar.
Synx: Check File checks the current file.
The status bar shows the compiler version. When the compiler is not found, it shows a warning; select it to download Synx or to set the path.

Install Synx from the releases page. The extension finds the compiler in this order:

The synx.compilerPath setting.
The SYNX_HOME environment variable.
PATH.
The default install folder: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Synx on Windows, ~/.local/share/synx on Linux and macOS.

Synx 0.1.0 works. Later releases write the errors as JSON (synx check --json), which gives exact error ranges.

Setting	Default	Effect
`synx.compilerPath`	empty	Path to `synx`, `synx.cmd`, or `synx.exe`. Empty uses the search order above.
`synx.checkOnSave`	`true`	Check a file when you save it.
`synx.checkOnOpen`	`true`	Check a file when you open it.
`synx.buildArguments`	`[]`	Extra arguments for Run and Build, for example `["--release"]`.

Command	Effect
Synx: Run File	Saves the file, then runs `synx run <file>`.
Synx: Build File	Saves the file, then runs `synx build <file>`. The executable is written beside the file.
Synx: Check File	Saves the file, then shows its errors.
Synx: Show Output	Shows the extension log: the compiler path and check failures.
