Options (settings)

The following Visual Studio Code settings are available for the Colorize extension. These can be set in user preferences (cmd+,) or workspace settings (.vscode/settings.json).

colorize.languages

Type: Array

Configure a list of languages that should be colorized. You can learn about languages at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/overview.

For example, if you want to colorize colors in javascript files, you just need to include it:

  "colorize.languages": [
    "javascript",
    // ...
  ]

colorize.enable_search_variables

Type: boolean
Default: true

By default colorize read and parse all files, in your workspace, that are targeted by the settings colorize.languages, colorize.include, and colorize.exclude to extract extract all variables. Thanks to this behavior all variables will have colored background even if you never open the file containing the declaration. ⚠️ This setting can slow down vscode at opening

colorize.include

Type: Array

Configure glob patterns for including files and folders. By default Colorize is enable for files matching one the languages defined in the colorize.languages config, with this config you can enable colorize for other files or folders. Read more about glob patterns here.

colorize.exclude

Type: Array

Configure glob patterns for excluding files and folders. Colorize will not colorized colors in these files and folders and it'll also not search for variables inside. Read more about glob patterns here.

colorize.hide_current_line_decorations

Type: boolean
Default: true

By default, decorations for the current line are hidden. Set this setting to false if you want to deactivate this behavior.

colorize.colorized.colors

Type: Array

This options allow you to enable/disable colorization for a type of colors.

Available colors are :

• HEXA: for hexadecimal colors: #RGB, #RGBA, #RRGGBB, #RRGGBBAA, 0xRGB, 0xRGBA, 0xRRGGBB or 0xRRGGBBAA
• ARGB: for argb colors: #RGB, #ARGB, #RRGGBB or #AARRGGBB
• RGB: for rgb colors: rgb(r,g,b) or rgba(r,g,b,a)
• HSL: for HSL colors: hsl(h,s,l) or hsla(h,s,l,a)
• BROWSERS_COLORS: for native browser's colors like white, red, blue...

For example, if you want to only colorize hexa colors (#fff, #ffffff, 0xFFF) in your files you can update the option like this :

  "colorize.colorized_colors": [
    "HEXA"
  ]

colorize.colorized_variables

Type: Array

This options allow you to enable/disable colorization for a type of variables.

For example if you use less in your project you setup the option like this

  "colorize.colorized_variables": [
    "LESS"
  ]

This way all @variables will be colorized
