What’s in the folder

This folder contains all of the files necessary for your extension:

• package.json - this is the manifest file declaring language support and locating the grammar file.

• shards.tmLanguage.json - this is the Text mate grammar file that is used for tokenization, generated from shards.tmLanguage.edn.

• language-configuration.json - this is the language configuration, defining the tokens that are used for comments and brackets.

Get up and running straight away

1. Go to Run → Start Debugging to open a new window with your extension loaded.

2. Open shards1.shs or shards2.shs file in this repo.

3. Verify that syntax highlighting works and that the language configuration settings are working.

Making changes

When making changes to shards.tmLanguage.edn, generate shards.tmLanguage.json using a tool like jet, here as:

cat shards.tmLanguage.edn |jet --to=json > shards.tmLanguage.json

Reload (Ctrl+R or Cmd+R on Mac) the VS Code window with your extension to load your changes. Otherwise, relaunch the extension from the debug toolbar.
