Ferrite Language Support

Official Visual Studio Code extension for the Ferrite programming language.

Features

• Syntax Highlighting: Beautiful and semantic syntax highlighting for all Ferrite keywords, types, and language features.
• Auto-Formatting: Robust, built-in code formatter. Just press Ctrl+S (or format document) to automatically format your .fe files with correct indentation, spacing, and comment preservation.
• Language Server: Seamless integration with the Ferrite Language Server for real-time diagnostics and error reporting.

Requirements

1. Install Ferrite from the official repository.
2. That's it! The extension will automatically find ferrite if it is in your system's PATH, or if you are developing locally inside the Ferrite workspace. If it cannot be found, it will prompt you to configure the absolute path in the extension settings.

Getting Started

1. Open a .fe file.
2. Start writing Ferrite code!
3. The Ferrite Language Server will automatically start and provide diagnostics.
4. Save your file to format it instantly.
