vscode-ruby-light

Lightweight VSCode extension for Ruby.

This extension is intended to provide a slightly better editing experience than VSCode's standard features, such as better syntax highlighting and better cursor manipulation, without requiring users to install Ruby.

Install

Install via Visual Studio Marketplace:

• Ruby Light - Visual Studio Marketplace

Optional configuration

If you want to use Diagnostics and Formatting features, rubocop must be available in your VSCode workspace. If Gemfile exists in the workspace or any ancestor directory, bundle exec rubocop is used instead. For the other features, there is no need to install anything additional.

If you want to partially disable any of the features provided by this extension, you can do so in the Settings menu.
