Tera extension for VS Code

Visual Studio Marketplace Version

VS Code extension for syntax highlighting and formatting [Tera][tera] templates. Based on https://github.com/danielchatfield/atom-jinja2.

Features

Syntax highlighting for Tera templates, embedded in 28 host languages (HTML, XML, CSS, JSON, Markdown, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, TypeScript, YAML, TOML, LaTeX, Rust and more).

Both Tera 2 and Tera 1 syntax are highlighted. Tera 2 additions include components ({% component %} / {{<name />}}), capture blocks ({% set x %}...{% endset %}), optional chaining (a?.b), spread ({...base}), ternaries, list comprehensions, slicing and the renamed built-in filters and tests. Tera 1 tags such as {% macro %} and {% import %} are still highlighted so existing templates keep working.

Screnshot

Examples

Sample templates live in examples/: examples/tera1 for Tera 1 syntax and examples/tera2 for Tera 2. Open any of them to see the highlighting. The Tera 2 examples are checked against the Tera 2 parser, so they double as a reference for the new syntax.

Requirements

Visual Studio Code 1.91.0 or later.
