Magnificent Language for VS Code

This extension adds first-party editor support for Magnificent Language (.mgl) files.

Extension icon asset: mgl-extension-icon.png

Features

• .mgl file association
• Syntax highlighting for keywords, declarations, comments, strings, numbers, and calls
• Snippets for common language constructs
• Bracket, quote, and comment configuration
• Command Palette actions:
  • MGL: Run Current File
  • MGL: Open REPL
  • MGL: Initialize Project
  • MGL: Insert Main Template
  • MGL: Insert Import Statement

Commands

The extension uses the existing MGL CLI.

When you run it inside this repository, it automatically falls back to the local bin/mgl runner. If you want to override that, set a custom CLI path:

• mgl run <file>
• mgl repl

Set the CLI path in VS Code settings if needed:

{
  "magnificentLanguage.cliPath": "mgl"
}

Local Development

If you open the repository root in VS Code:

1. Press F5.
2. Choose Run MGL VS Code Extension.
3. A new Extension Development Host window will open with the repo workspace.

If you open only mgl-extension in VS Code:

1. Press F5.
2. Choose Run MGL Extension.

Then open any .mgl file in the development host and run MGL: Run Current File from the Command Palette.
