Syntax Highlight

The YANG modeling looks like this with the extension

Requirements

This extension does not have any third-party dependency. It should work out-of-the box if you have a up-to-date VS Code.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why I don't see a highlight in some of the keywords like in the photo? Like module or grouping?

It is possible that your VS Code theme does not have a color by default for the TextMate grammar meta.function.definition. You could added and use the color that you prefer. This example is for the Dark+ default theme of VS Code, you should edit this in you User settings

Ctrl + Shift + P and search for Open User settings (JSON)

See Editor Semantic Highlighting for more details

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
    "[Default Dark+]": {
        "textMateRules": [
            {
                "scope": "meta.function.definition.yang",
                "settings": {
                    "fontStyle": "italic",
                    "foreground": "#C586C0"
                }
            },
        ]
    }
}

If this is not the case, I may forgot to add a keyword, so let me know in the issues section of the repository.

Why my setup does not look like the photos with those colors?

The extension does not change the colors of your theme. This is just a syntax highlighter extension. If you want to have the same colors as in the photos, you should use the awesome Color theme Tokyo Night. I added some changes my self, as mentioned in the first question.
