Slice for Visual Studio Code

This language extension adds support for highlighting Slice files within Visual Studio Code. It supports highlighting the following file types:

• .ice files, which use the original Slice syntax
• .slice files, which use the latest Slice syntax

Additionally, this extension provides a Slice Language Server, for .slice files only.

Configuration

The Slice Language Server can be configured using the following settings:

• slice.languageServer.enabled: A boolean indicating whether the Slice Language Server should be enabled. Defaults to true.
• slice.configurations: An array of configuration sets. Configuration sets are independently compiled, allowing each to define its own files and options for compilation.
  • Each configuration set is an object with the following properties:
  • paths: An array containing the paths to the target Slice reference files. Also supports directory paths.
  • addWellKnownTypes: A boolean indicating whether to include the IceRpc well-known Slice files during compilation.

Example

{
    "slice.configurations": [
        {
            "paths": [
                "path/to/slice/directory",
                "path/to/other/slice/file.slice",
                "/absolute/path/to/directory"  
            ],
            "addWellKnownTypes": true
        }
    ]
