The official extension for the Pomsky regular expression language. It is still in development and lacks some features.

Features

• Syntax highlighting
• Underlined errors and warnings
• Auto-completion of variables and character classes
• Live preview of compiled expression
  • Right-click and select Open compiled RegExp on the right or click the icon in the top right corner

Missing IDE features:

• Go to definition / find usages / rename variable
• Code formatting
• Extend selection
• Documentation tooltips
• Quick fixes
• Compiled Regex: find and replace
• Select flavor in preview window

Requirements

You need to have the pomsky executable installed locally. Get it from the Releases page. Then you need to either

• go to the settings, search for pomsky.exePath and enter the path to the executable, or

• rename the executable to pomsky and move it to /usr/bin or ~/.cargo/bin so it can be detected automatically

In the future we'll add a setting to specify a path to the executable. We might also embed an executable compiled to WASM, so no setup is needed.

Extension Settings

The following configurations are available:

• pomsky.defaultFlavor: Specifies the default regex flavor

• pomsky.executable.path: Points to the Pomsky executable

• pomsky.executable.extraArgs: Additional arguments to pass to pomsky. For example, setting it to -Wcompat=0 disables compatibility warnings.

Issues

This extension is an alpha stage, so expect some bugs. Please report any problems you encounter here!
