foo.iv for VS Code

FOO language support for Visual Studio Code. Open any .iv file to get syntax highlighting, file icons, bracket handling, comment shortcuts, indentation, and ready-made snippets.

FOO source in VS Code with the 4 file icon and syntax highlighting

Install

Open Extensions in Visual Studio Code, search for foo.iv, select the extension published by radiiplus, and choose Install.

To install a downloaded package instead, open the Extensions view, choose Install from VSIX, and select foo.iv-2.0.0.vsix.

Use FOO Files

Files ending in .iv open in FOO language mode automatically. The active language appears as FOO in the status bar.

function greet(name of type text) of type nothing {
  display "Hello, " plus name.
  give nothing.
}

start() {
  greet("world").
  give nothing.
}

The extension highlights declarations, control flow, types, functions, constants, strings, numbers, comments, properties, attributes, native blocks, and invalid syntax. Its FOO-specific colors work alongside the selected VS Code theme.

Snippets

Start typing one of these names and select the FOO suggestion:

Prefix	Inserts
`function`	Function declaration
`test`	Test block
`when`	Conditional block
`for each`	Collection loop
`constant`	Constant declaration
`native`	Native block

Use -- for line comments and --- ... --- for block comments. Quotes, brackets, and braces close automatically, and indentation follows FOO blocks.

Mixed `.iv` Projects

If another extension also claims .iv files, open the language selector in the status bar and choose FOO. You can keep that choice for a workspace with a file association:

{
  "files.associations": {
    "*.iv": "foo"
  }
}
