WebX - Syntax and Snippets

This extension adds basic syntax highlighting and essential snippets for WebX files.

WebX is a simple declarative language for creating RESTful web services and dynamic application backends. Read more about WebX at https://github.com/webx-net/webx.

Features

This extension includes the following features:

Syntax highlighting for WebX files
- Emedded TypeScript and TSX
Snippets for WebX files

Syntax Highlighting

Support for syntax highlighting of all WebX files. This language is a superset of typescriptreact.

Currently, the syntax highlighting grammar is limited to one route declaration per line. This is due to the fact that the grammar is running using TextMate, which does not support multiline rules.

Snippets

The following snippets are available for WebX files:

global - Global TypeScript declarations
model - Model definitions
handler - Handler definitions
location - Location scopes
get/post/etc. - Route declaration

Roadmap

Move to a Language server protocol (LSP) implementation for robustness and better semantic support such as code completion, hover-info, and advanced syntax highlighting.
