[dart-misc] Dart integration for Visual Studio Code; early preview - feedback wanted!

[Danny Tuppeny]

Hi all,

I've begun work on a Visual Studio Code extension for Dart (backed onto the
same Analysis Server from the Dart Team that many other integrations and
DartPad use). It's very early but since I don't really have any real world
Dart projects to test it with (I'm hoping this will change with an editor I
can get on with!) the testing has been somewhat limited.

If anyone would like to try it out and send feedback (GitHub issues
<https://github.com/DanTup/Dart-Code/issues>, here, twitter
<https://twitter.com/DanTup>, whatever...) it would be greatly appreciated!

Implemented so far:

- Syntax highlighting
- Code-completion
- Diagnostics (errors/warnings/hints)
- Workspace-wide symbol search
- Reformatting document
- Tooltips

You can download it from the link below (*dart-code-0.1.0.vsix* at the
bottom). The next preview will go into the Code Marketplace, but since this
is super-early I didn't want people installing it there and being annoyed
if stuff is broken:

*https://github.com/DanTup/Dart-Code/releases/tag/v0.1.0
<https://github.com/DanTup/Dart-Code/releases/tag/v0.1.0>*


That page also contains installation instructions and some other notes.
Honestly, I don't know how well it will work for you but if you do try it
out please let me know how you get on; the more feedback I can get the
better :)

I've put a slightly-updated preview in the marketplace now :-)

If you try it out, please let me know how you get on!

Is that logo wise? Seems like you're asking for trouble with it.

Hmmm, I dunno. If I don't upload a logo it shows a greyed VS Code logo, and
I used it years ago for DartVS and nobody at Microsoft seemed to mind. A
few people on the Code team cloned my repo recently (to try and reproduce a
bug) and never mentioned it either.

I'll happily change it if they ask, though personally I don't think there's
any more danger with people thinking it's an MS products as them thinking
using the Dart logo is a Google product.

[Robert Åkerblom-Andersson]

I like the logo and don't think it's an issue. Might have been different if
you developed a competing IDE/editor, but this is an addon and it's very
clear what it is.

Cheers, Robert

Danny,

Opened my ~20K LOC proprietary project and it seems to work ok :)

Fantastic work - Thanks!

Already planning run/debug ?

Cheers,

Great to hear!

Did you install from the Marketplace
<https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DanTup.dart-code> rather
than one linked in the email you quoted? If not, you should :)

The credit belongs to the Dart Team; I'm really just writing a little glue
between VS Code and their Analysis Service, but I'm glad to hear it's
working well!

I'm going to try and get a new version on the marketplace today with some
improvements that have been made over the weekend.

Thing about it, but haven't started looking at whats involved. I think Run
is probably possible on a project-basis with the task stuff already
built-in but I'm sure there's much an extension can to do improve it.

Debugging, I haven't thought much about (other than it'd be a) great and b)
hard) but if it's something I can do then I'd very much like to (it'll be
post-v1 though.. I don't want to hold up a stable v1 release).

Thanks for trying it out; do please send feedback/ideas (ideally GH issues,
but emails/tweets/whatever are fine too!).

If you're on twitter and want notification of updates (not sure how well VS
Code notifies of these) follow @dart_vscode
<https://twitter.com/dart_vscode> and click the Star to turn on
notifications! :)

I've pushed an updated build with a bunch of improvements:
