VS Code language support for primate,
a small DSL and code generator for cross-language constants. Write your
shared values once; generate typed Rust, TypeScript, and Python.
Features
Syntax highlighting for .prim files.
LSP integration (talks to the primate lsp binary that ships with the
CLI): diagnostics, hover docs, go-to-definition, find-references,
format-on-save, contextual completion (enum variants, unit suffixes).
Cross-target navigation: jump from a constant in a .prim file to its
generated callsites in TypeScript / Rust / Python, and back.
The extension shells out to primate lsp. The CLI must be on PATH,
or you can point the extension at a custom binary via the
primate.server.path setting.
Install this extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
Open any .prim file. You should see syntax highlighting, and
diagnostics appear inline as you type.
