Smithy for VS Code

This package is a Visual Studio Code extension to recognize and highlight the Smithy interface definition language (IDL). It can also be used as a TextMate bundle in TextMate and IntelliJ using a third-party plugin.

Features

This extension provides basic syntax highlighting of ".smithy" files.

Additionally, it provides Snippets.

Installation

This extension can be installed from the VS Code Extension Marketplace.

To install from source, follow these steps:

• Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/awslabs/smithy-vscode.git && cd smithy-vscode
• Run npm commands to install: npm install && npm run install-plugin

Authoring a model

If your model requires dependencies, add a smithy-build.json file to the root of your project, specifying Maven dependencies, along with the repositories where they can be located.

{
    {
    "maven": {
      "dependencies": ["software.amazon.smithy:smithy-aws-traits:1.19.0"],
      "repositories": [{ "url": "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/" }]
    }
  }
}

Start authoring your Smithy model. Opening a *.smithy file will activate the extension.

Use with IntelliJ

You can use this extension for syntax highlighting in IntelliJ by installing the "TextMate bundle support" plugin and registering this repository as a bundle. See the IntelliJ documentation for more details.
