Language Features

Syntax Highlighting

FSH Syntax

FSH files automatically have syntax highlighting applied. This allows for easier reading and writing of FHIR Shorthand.

Snippets

FSH Snippets

FSH Snippets make creating new FSH items a breeze! Snippets automatically add relevant keywords and placeholders so you can easily enter all of the recommended metadata for a FSH definition. Snippets will even auto-create your Id and Title for you based on the name.

To use snippets, type one of the trigger phrases, hit the <TAB> or <ENTER> key, type in the first field value, and hit the <TAB> key to move to the next placeholder. All FSH snippets always stop at the first rule in the definition.
