Hack for Visual Studio Code

This extension adds rich Hack language & HHVM support to Visual Studio Code. Visit http://hacklang.org to get started with Hack.

It is published in the Visual Studio Marketplace here. To install, search for "Hack" in the VS Code extensions tab or run the following command (⌘+P): ext install vscode-hack.

See the full list of releases and features added on the Github releases page as well as the project changelog.

Features

• Type Checking • Autocomplete • Hover Hints • Document Symbol Outline • Workspace Symbol Search • Document Formatting • Go To/Peek Definition • Find All References • Hack Coverage Check • Linting and Autofixing • Local and Remote Debugging

Requirements

This extension is supported on Linux and Mac OS X 10.10 onwards (see HHVM compatibility). The latest versions of Hack typechecking tools (hh_client and hh_server) are required on the local machine or via a remote connection. The workspace should have a .hhconfig file at its root.

Configuration

This extension adds the following Visual Studio Code settings. These can be set in user preferences (⌘+,) or workspace settings (.vscode/settings.json).

• hack.clientPath: Absolute path to the hh_client executable. This can be left empty if hh_client is already in your environment \$PATH. • hack.enableCoverageCheck: Enable calculation of Hack type coverage percentage for every file and display in status bar (default: true). • hack.useLanguageServer: Start hh_client in Language Server mode. Only works for HHVM version 3.23 and above (default: true). • hack.useHhast: Enable linting (needs HHAST library set up and configured in project) (default: true). • hack.hhastPath: Use an alternate hhast-lint path. Can be abolute or relative to workspace root (default: vendor/bin/hhast-lint). • hack.hhastArgs: Optional list of arguments passed to hhast-lint executable. • hack.hhastLintMode: Whether to lint the entire project (whole-project) or just the open files (open-files).

Remote Development

The extension supports connecting to an external HHVM development environment for local typechecking, linting and all other intellisense features. The current supported connection methods are SSH into a remote host or exec in a local Docker container.

To enable this, set the following config values:

• hack.remote.enabled: Run the Hack language tools on an external host (deafult: false). • hack.remote.type: The remote connection method (ssh or docker). • hack.remote.workspacePath: Absolute location of workspace root in the remote file system. If empty, this defaults to the local workspace path.

For SSH:

• hack.remote.ssh.host: Address for the remote development server to connect to (in the format [user@]hostname). • hack.remote.ssh.flags: Additional command line options to pass when establishing the SSH connection (_Optional_).

Make sure to test SSH connectivity and credentials beforehand. You should also ensure that the source stays in sync between the local and remote machines (the extension doesn't currently handle this).

For Docker:

• hack.remote.docker.containerName: Name of the local Docker container to run the language tools in.

Make sure the container is already running on your local machine, and has the required HHVM setup. You can pull an official HHVM image from Docker hub and even run multiple versions simultaneously.
