Acadia Syntax
Syntax highlighting and basic editor configuration for the
Acadia database programming language.
The extension associates *.db files with Acadia and recognizes the syntax
used by the examples in this repository and the documented language API:
- Elm-style modules, imports, types, records, functions, pattern matching, and
pipelines
- Acadia's
database, endpoint, and transactional := constructs
- line comments, nested block comments, strings, characters, and numbers
- documented numeric and time types, time units, constructors, and operators
- qualified module functions such as
Time.now and types such as Time.Posix
The grammar intentionally uses the same base TextMate scopes as the Elm VS Code
extension for module paths, type declarations, type variables, constructors,
record fields, and top-level values. Themes should therefore color equivalent
Elm and Acadia constructs consistently.
This is a TextMate grammar only. It has no runtime code and does not provide
completion, type checking, formatting, or diagnostics.
Try it locally
- Open this
acadia-syntax directory in VS Code.
- Press
F5 and choose VS Code Extension Development Host if prompted.
- Open any of the repository's
examples/*/src/Backend.db files.
Create a VSIX with the pinned Microsoft publishing tool:
pnpm vsce:package
code --install-extension acadia-syntax-0.1.1.vsix
Install the TypeScript development tools and run the structural checks with:
pnpm install
pnpm test
.db file association
Acadia currently uses the broad .db extension, which is also commonly used
for binary SQLite databases. VS Code may therefore select Acadia for an unrelated
.db file. Use Change Language Mode in the status bar when that happens.
Publishing to the Marketplace
The extension is configured for the kvothe Visual Studio Marketplace
publisher. The source repository is intentionally private, so the VSCE scripts
use --allow-missing-repository and do not expose a repository URL.
After authenticating VSCE as kvothe, publish with:
pnpm vsce:publish
