Prady Language Support for VS Code

Full IDE support for the Prady Programming Language (.pr)

🌐 Website | 📖 Docs | 💡 Extension Guide | ▶ Playground | ⬇ Download Prady

✨ Features

Feature	Details
🎨 Syntax Highlighting	Keywords, types, functions, comments, decorators (`@test`), architecture blocks (`architecture`, `layer`, `spec`)
⚡ Code Runner	Click the ▶ button to run `.pr` files in an interactive terminal; `input()` reads from that terminal, while output and runtime errors appear in editor diagnostics
🔍 Diagnostics	Syntax/parser and unresolved local import diagnostics update while editing; save or run `Prady: Check File` to refresh compiler diagnostics
🔵 LSP Integration	Hover and go-to-definition where supported, workspace class/function completions, local member suggestions, and relative auto-imports
🎨 Formatting	Run `Format Document` to use `prady fmt`; enable it on save with VS Code's `[prady]` editor setting
💡 Snippets	Quick expansions for `fn`, `main`, `let`, `letmut`, `arch`, `struct`, and `@test`
📐 Smart Editing	Auto-closing brackets, `//` line comments, smart indentation, and bracket colorization
🏷️ File Icons	Custom `.pr` file icon in the Explorer sidebar

📦 Installation

Option 1 — Install the `.vsix` manually (Recommended)

Download the latest .vsix from the Releases page
Open VS Code → Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X)
Click ··· (top-right menu) → Install from VSIX...
Select the downloaded .vsix file

Option 2 — VS Code Marketplace

Search for "Prady Language" by technopradyumn in the Extensions panel.

⚙️ Requirements

The extension requires the Prady compiler (prady) to be installed on your system.

Install Prady in one line:

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/technopradyumn/prady/main/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/technopradyumn/prady/main/install.ps1 | iex

Or download standalone binaries from: pradylang.vercel.app/download

Full installation guide: pradylang.vercel.app/docs/getting-started/installation

⌨️ Commands

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for:

Command	Description
`Prady: Run File`	Run the current `.pr` file with `prady run`
`Prady: Check File`	Type-check and show diagnostics
`Prady: Show AST`	Print the Abstract Syntax Tree for the current file
`Prady: Show LSP Output`	Open the LSP log channel for debugging

Keyboard shortcuts:

Ctrl+Alt+N — Run current .pr file

Programs can read a line from the interactive terminal with input() or display a prompt with input("Name: ").

🔧 Settings

Configure in VS Code Settings (Ctrl+,):

Setting	Default	Description
`prady.executablePath`	`"prady"`	Path to the `prady` CLI binary
`prady.lspServerPath`	`""`	Path to `prady-lsp` (auto-detected if empty)

Format with Format Document. To format when saving, configure VS Code's standard setting:

"[prady]": { "editor.formatOnSave": true }

The current compiler does not implement full static type checking. The extension reports diagnostics the parser/compiler actually emit and cannot detect every undefined name or type mismatch before execution. It only proposes project imports that map to files it can resolve; documented standard-library namespaces without source modules are not invented as auto-imports.

For the latest diagnostics, completions, formatting, and runner fixes, install Prady Language 1.0.3 or newer and restart VS Code. The extension can use the bundled CLI when a matching platform binary is present; otherwise install Prady separately or set prady.executablePath.

💡 Snippets Reference

Prefix	Expands to
`fn`	Function definition with typed parameters
`main`	`fn main()` entry point
`let`	Immutable variable binding
`letmut`	Mutable variable binding (`let mut`)
`arch`	`architecture` block with layers
`struct`	Struct definition
`@test`	Test function with `@test` decorator
