Solidity Visual Developer

• Advanced Solidity Language Support
• Code Augmentation
• Source Exploration
• Visual Security Linting

An extension that supports developers in writing secure and well understood code

This extension contributes security centric syntax and semantic highlighting, a detailed class outline, specialized views, advanced Solidity code insights and augmentation to Visual Studio Code.

Features

Semantic highlighting and solidity insights for passive security awareness. Most features are configurable (preferences -> Settings -> Solidity Visual Developer)

Themes (preferences -> Color Theme):

• Visual Auditor Dark - based on the "Atom One" theme
• Visual Auditor Light (Visual Studio) - based on the standard "light (VSCode)" theme
• Visual Auditor Solarized Light - based on the standard "Solarized Light" theme

Syntax Highlighting

• access modifiers (external, public, payable, ...)
• security relevant built-ins, globals, methods and user/miner-tainted information (address.call(), tx.origin, msg.data, block.*, now)
• storage access modifiers (memory, storage)
• developer notes in comments (TODO, FIXME, HACK, ...)
• custom function modifiers
• contract creation / event invocations
• easily differentiate between arithmetics vs. logical operations
• make Constructor and Fallback function more prominent

Code fragments passively draw your attention to statements that typically <span style="color:#c5f015">reduce risk </span> or <span style="color:#f03c15">need your attention </span>.

Semantic Highlighting

• highlights StateVars (constant, inherited)
• detects and alerts about StateVar shadowing
• highlights function arguments in the function body

Review Features

• audit annotations/bookmarks - @audit - <msg> @audit-ok - <msg> (see below)
• generic interface for importing external scanner results - cdili json format (see below)
• codelens inline action: graph, report, dependencies, inheritance, parse, ftrace, flatten, generate unittest stub, function signature hashes, uml

Graph- and Reporting Features

• 💒🤵👰 vscode-solidity-auditor ⚭ Sūrya
  • access your favorite Sūrya features from within vscode!
  • interactive call graphs with call flow highlighting and more!
• 📈🎉 auto-generate UML diagrams from code to support your threat modelling exercises or documentation!

Code Augmentation

• Hover over Ethereum Account addresses to download the byte-code, source-code or open it in the browser
• Hover over ASM instructions to show their signatures
• Hover over keywords to show basic Security Notes
• Hover over StateVar's to show declaration information

Views

• Cockpit View
  • Explore and focus on solidity files in your workspace
  • Generate report/graphs for any files/folders selected in the explorer views
  • Selectively flatten files
  • Search for contracts that are likely to be deployed in the system
  • Context-sensitive views: click into a contract in the editor to list public state-changing method
  • Get quick access to extension settings
• Outline View
  • populates VS Code outline view with sourceUnit and contract layout
  • contracts, stateVars, methods, inherited names
  • annotates security relevant information (visibility, ...)
  • calculates complexity rating
  • annotations functions with information about whether they are accessing stateVars

Installation

Method 1: Install by going to Visual Studio Market Place and click Install.
