Support the creator
Features
- Format the entire document with
Ctrl+Shift+I or Format Document command.
- Format the selected lines with
Ctrl+K Ctrl+F or Format Selection.
The formatter follows the basic layout in the Drools reference documentation. Lines
beginning with rule, rule attributes such as dialect, and end are flush
with the left margin. The when and then keywords also start at the left
margin, and their contents are indented four spaces. Blocks are closed with
end at column zero.
Only the main structural keywords (rule, when, then, end) affect
indentation. Other Drools keywords such as accumulate, exists, or query
are formatted as normal lines inside the blocks.
Development
npm install
npm run watch
# For a single build
npm run compile
The compiled extension code is output to the dist folder.
Usage
Open a .drl file in VS Code and use the standard formatting commands.
The extension registers the drl language, so .drl files are recognized automatically when the extension is installed.
