Installation

Install the Cadence extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace

The extension is also available on the Open VSX Registry

Once installed, the extension will help you install other dependencies such as the Flow CLI.

Features

Cadence Language Server

The Cadence extension provides a language server for Cadence. The language server is responsible for providing language features like code completion, diagnostics, and more. It is packaged within the Flow CLI and is managed by the extension.

Debugging

Use the debugger build into VSCode on Cadence files by creating a launch.json file. Make sure to have an emulator connected to enable debugging.

Example launch.json
{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "cadence",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Curent file",
      "program": "${file}",
      "stopOnEntry": true
    }
  ]
}
