nf-core Extension Pack

An extension pack for VSCode with all the tools you'll need to develop with nf-core, a community effort to collect a curated set of analysis pipelines built using Nextflow.

Note - not all of these may be to your taste! We have tried to include packages that people in the community have found useful, but be prepared to disable any that you don't like the look of after installing ;)

Included extensions

  • Apptainer/Singularity - Provides syntax highlighting for Apptainer/Singularity definition files
  • Docker - Makes it easy to create, manage, and debug containerized applications
  • EditorConfig - Support for EditorConfig project files for code standardisation.
  • gitignore - Language support for .gitignore files
  • Markdown Extended - Gives nice markdown previews, including admonitions - see nf-core/website#2579
  • Nextflow - Nextflow language support
  • Prettier - Code formatter using prettier
  • Rainbow CSV - Highlight columns in csv files in different colors
  • Ruff - An extremely fast Python linter and code formatter, written in Rust.
  • Todo Tree - Show TODO, FIXME, etc. comment tags in a tree view
  • YAML - YAML Language Support by Red Hat, with built-in Kubernetes syntax support

Some extensions which are not included, but that many in the community find useful are:

  • Code Spell Checker - A basic spell checker that works well with camelCase code.
  • indent-rainbow - Highlight indentation level, especially if inconsistent

Please create a GitHub issue if you can think of any others to recommend!
