# Welcome to your VS Code Extension
|
|
|
|
## What's in the folder
|
|
|
|
* This folder contains all of the files necessary for your extension.
|
|
* `package.json` - this is the manifest file in which you declare your language support and define the location of the grammar file that has been copied into your extension.
|
|
* `syntaxes/mclang.tmLanguage.json` - this is the Text mate grammar file that is used for tokenization.
|
|
* `language-configuration.json` - this is the language configuration, defining the tokens that are used for comments and brackets.
|
|
|
|
## Get up and running straight away
|
|
|
|
* Make sure the language configuration settings in `language-configuration.json` are accurate.
|
|
* Press `F5` to open a new window with your extension loaded.
|
|
* Create a new file with a file name suffix matching your language.
|
|
* Verify that syntax highlighting works and that the language configuration settings are working.
|
|
|
|
## Make changes
|
|
|
|
* You can relaunch the extension from the debug toolbar after making changes to the files listed above.
|
|
* You can also reload (`Ctrl+R` or `Cmd+R` on Mac) the VS Code window with your extension to load your changes.
|
|
|
