Compatible with your favorite Erlang and Elixir extensions

Works great with other extensions to provide all the things this one doesn't, such as syntax highlighting, intellisense, and snippets. Currently tested with:

  • "Erlang" (pgourlain.erlang)
  • "Elixir LS Fork" (elixir-lsp.elixir-ls)

Setup

Requirements

  • Visual Studio Code - Code editor
