Nginx config file hint(auto-completion) for VS Code

.github/workflows/ci.yaml

A Visual Studio Code extension that helps you write Nginx configuration files. Many features in it include syntax highlight, auto-complete, in-editor documents, embedded Lua block, and more.

Why Fork?

The upstream repo seems to be left unmaintained and there was compatibility issue with raynigon.nginx-formatter extension because the upstream projects used NGINX as language id while the formatter extension uses nginx and therefore it's not possible to use both extensions on the same file

Installation

  1. Click Extension button in left side of VSCode. (Shortcut: <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>X</kbd> or <kbd>Command</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>X</kbd>)
  2. Search for ahmadalli.vscode-nginx-conf and click the Install button.
  3. Reload VSCode.

0.3.0 (2021-11-20)

:mega: There are a lot of updates in this version:

  1. The syntax of the Nginx configuration file is updated completely
    • Because the syntax from sublime extension and shanoor's repo are long time no updates. So I write a syntax generator for better highlight
    • New syntax is generated from codes. You can find them in generate-tmLanguage.ts
    • New syntax supports embedded Lua block
    • New syntax supports the directive statement in multiple lines
    • And extension configuration nginx-conf-hint.syntax is removed
  2. Optimize hint data loader and document loader. They use less memory now and load data on demand
  3. This extension can run as a web extension. So you can use this extension on https://vscode.dev/ now
  4. The coverage of auto-completion is more, and auto-completion is smarter
    1. Auto completion is based on the context and grammar of the configuration now
    2. Fix some wrong auto-completion items
    3. Autocomplete named location
    4. Autocomplete directive's named argument
    5. Autocomplete media types
  5. Add editor definition support for location directive
  6. Add new extension configuration nginx-conf-hint.externalModules for controlling enabled of external modules hint data
  7. The source code is rewritten by using Typescript
