The official Visual Studio Code extension for the JTech Framework.
Supercharge your development workflow with rich syntax highlighting, intelligent snippets, and dedicated file icons for .jtech.php files.
🚀 Features
This extension provides a complete tooling ecosystem for JTech Framework developers:
🎨 Syntax Highlighting: Full colorization for .jtech.php files. It intelligently distinguishes between HTML, native PHP code, and JTech Blade-like directives (e.g., @if, @foreach, {{ $var }}).
⚡ Smart Snippets: A comprehensive collection of snippets for rapid development. Type foreach, section, or auth and hit Tab to generate complex blocks instantly.
🏠 Emmet Support: Integrated HTML expansion. Type div.container>ul>li*3 inside a JTech file and expand it seamlessly.
✨ File Icons: Distinguish your JTech views instantly in the file explorer with the custom JTech icon set.
🛠️ HTML5 Boilerplate: Type ! to generate a standard HTML5 structure ready for JTech views.
