Ostrin Language Support for Visual Studio Code
This is the first VS Code integration for Ostrin. It currently provides:
.ostrin file recognition;- syntax highlighting;
- bracket and comment configuration;
- the official Ostrin logo;
Ostrin: Check Current File;Ostrin: Run Current File;- compiler errors in the VS Code Problems panel, with line and column when available;
- keyword, type, unit and standard-library completion;
- type-aware member completion for known local bindings and declared types;
- hover documentation and an outline for top-level declarations;
- basic definition navigation for indexed user declarations and members;
- optional compiler checks on save.
The extension calls the ostrinc executable configured in ostrin.compilerPath.
The default first looks for a locally built compiler in
compiler/target/debug/ostrinc.exe (or the platform equivalent) when the
workspace is the Ostrin repository, and otherwise falls back to ostrinc on
PATH. You can always set the full path manually in VS Code settings.
Install from the repository
VS Code recognizes .ostrin files as soon as this extension is installed. From
the repository root:
cd vscode-ostrin
npx --yes @vscode/vsce package
code --install-extension .\ostrin-language-support-0.1.0.vsix
After restarting or reloading VS Code, opening any .ostrin file selects the
Ostrin language automatically. Build the compiler first from the repository
root with cd compiler; cargo build to enable diagnostics, hover data and
type-aware completion without configuring a global ostrinc command.
The compiler check command uses ostrinc --check --json internally. The
current editor providers are intentionally lightweight. A full semantic
language server with expression-level resolution, rename, formatting and
debugging is future work.
