Caddyfile

Language support for Caddyfiles in Visual Studio Code.

Features

• Syntax highlighting and formatting
• Completions, hover documentation, diagnostics, and navigation
• Current standard Caddy directives, including experimental route-scoped timeouts
• Snippets, matchers, named routes, placeholders, and imports
• Workspace indexing that respects files.exclude and .gitignore without hiding explicit imports
• Optional checks with an installed Caddy command
• Desktop, remote, and browser extension hosts

The extension does not require Caddy for normal editing and never downloads or starts Caddy.
