Hyperledger Composer Extension for VSCode

Validate Composer model files that define the structure of your business network in terms of Assets, Participants and Transactions.

The extension parses Composer model (.cto) files and reports any validation errors. It is currently in beta; please raise any problems you find as an issue.

Manual Build and Install

Generate the installable VSIX file:

git clone https://github.com/hyperledger/composer-vscode-plugin.git
cd composer-vscode-plugin/server
npm install
npm run compile:server
cd ../client
npm install
npm run package:vsix

Launch VSCode
View > Extensions
Press the ... and select "Install from VSIX"
Browse to the VSIX file
Install and restart VSCode

Travis CI build

Developers no longer need a manual build, once you have pulled a request from your private Github repository. The build will be automatically performed by Travis. A successful build will create an installable VSIX file on the build machine. The public release version number is defined in the Client package.json file.
