Build

What's in the folder

  • This folder contains all of the files necessary for the extension.
  • syntaxes/just.tmLanguage.yaml - this is the Text mate grammar file that is used for tokenization.
  • language-configuration.json - this is the language configuration, defining the tokens that are used for comments and brackets.

Get up and running straight away

  • npm install
  • Make sure the language configuration settings in language-configuration.json are accurate.
  • Press F5 to open a new window with the extension loaded and a couple of test files opened.
  • Verify that syntax highlighting works and that the language configuration settings are working.

Make changes

  • You can relaunch the extension from the debug toolbar after making changes to the files listed above.
  • You can also reload (Ctrl+R or Cmd+R on Mac) the VS Code window with the extension to load your changes.
