Hello,

Earlier this week, I committed and announced support for creating Atom packages. I then promised to commit VS Code extension support.

I didn't make it for Christmas, but today nevertheless, VS Code extension support has been committed :-)

It allows you to create VS Code extensions with Pas2JS. The full VS Code API is available (just as the Atom API is available) in the "libvscode" unit. A "vscodeapp" unit is also available.

I have created a "hello, world" demo (see attached screenshots).

The Lazarus IDE has been extended with a 'VS Code Extension' project type. It will create a skeleton extension, much as the Atom Package wizard does.

The created skeleton extension contains the necessary support files to work on the extension in VS Code:
* build the extension (using the default Build command: ctrl-shift-B)
* launch VS Code with the package installed (using Ctrl-F5).

In view of the popularity of VS Code, I would like to ask:

Please consider contributing some examples to pas2js which demonstrate the various APIs of VS Code. They need not be big, just enough to demonstrate an API.

I of course expect now to see lots of pas2js VS Code extensions appearing in the coming weeks and months :-)

For the really brave:

* Consider integrating pas2js itself in VS Code: the compiler can be run in node.js, so it can also be run as part of VS Code, no need to launch an extenal executable :-)

* Consider compiling the Lazarus code tools for use in VS Code. If succesful, they will do a lot better than the omnipascal tools.

* When TMS Software has an API for their VS Code plugin, consider contributing to that as well: the more Object Pascal the better.

* In general: Go wild :-)

A warning: the VS Code API is HUGE (4000 lines), this is currently slightly more than the web unit :)

If you notice any shortcomings in the API, please let me know and I will correct as soon as possible.

Enjoy,

Michael.

Very nice :)
Looking forward to play around with this when I get some free time -------------- next part --------------

Ihis is very good.
I did an extension for vscode, now i'm going to port it to pas2js. So i would like to remove some dependencies
As suggested i'm looking at codetools ....
I am having a problem with the parse ....

== >>>
CodeToolBoss.FindDeclaration

<<< ==
### TCodeToolManager.HandleException: [20170421195736] "expected ;, but to found" at Line = 372 Col = 47 in
"/home/helio/Documentos/dev/fpc/pas2js/packages/rtl/sysutils.pas" Parse error: expected ;, but to found

Fear some adjustment to make him ignore some warnings and continue ????

You must tell codetools to fetch settings from pas2js, instead of fpc.

set env var PP to path of pas2js.

Codetoolboss.SimpleInit(YourCfgFilename);

Thanks for the tip!

know whether codetools have any mechanisms to format(indent) the code?

Only some very basic indenters.
For full beautifying you can use ptop or jcf - jedi code formatter.

How do I make CodeTools query in more than extra directory?

Please test array filles

Codetoolboss.SimpleInit([YourCfgFilename1,YourCfgFilename2])

I will check this possibility .... has one more question how to adjust to manipulate the units even though they are not yet saved to disk? CodeToolBoss.LoadFile()

Being able to use codetools to skip to a definition and to complete the code .... But the problem that this only works for files already saved .... Do you have any idea how to get around this?

SOLVED!

What exactly did you solve ?

Michael.

Synchronize vscode changes with codetools! I removed the omnipascal dependency.

Great. I am curious. Omnipascal does not work very well on Linux :)
