Django extension for Visual Studio Code

Beautiful syntax and scoped snippets for perfectionists with deadlines

Usage

Configure you file association for Django HTML in the Language Mode menu or drop this in your settings for more precision:

"files.associations": {
    "**/templates/*.html": "django-html",
    "**/templates/*": "django-txt",
    "**/requirements{/**,*}.{txt,in}": "pip-requirements"
},

Emmet enthusiasts should have this to their configuration as well:

"emmet.includeLanguages": {"django-html": "html"},
