Scala with VScode

Question

I started to use vscode for python development. And I really like it, does anyone know how to extend VScode so I can write scala in it as well ?

At the bare minimum I need to get syntax highlighting working.

Answer 1

Scala works well in VS Code 2019.

There's official syntax highlighting , and a Language Server called Metals (which replaces Ensime which is mentioned in other answers).

Answer 2

There is one here:

https://github.com/IliyaTryapitsin/vscode-scala

You can add it by reading the readme there which is:

Run VSCode

code --enableExtensionGallery

Press F1 then input:

for scala installation

ext install scala

for sbt installation

ext install sbt

for snippets installation

ext install scalasnippets

Answer 3

If your NOT using Intellij or Eclipse and want to stick to VSCode, then I highly recommend Ensime & Ensime plugin below: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dragos.scala-lsp Also check out, www.ensime.org It's a bit more involved to setup ensime env but still worth it.

Discussion of two is below here: https://www.reddit.com/r/scala/comments/5eu9if/intellij_vs_ensime/

However, Intellij has improved a lot. So, the beauty contest is a matter of judgement call. I have been switch back & forth between many variations (Emacs, Intellij, neovim, VSCode). It's a complicated language. So, I need all the help I can get!

Answer 4

如果您深入研究应用程序路径，我认为它可以在 .js 中扩展，例如查看 javascript 和 typescript 文件夹（尽管我还没有尝试过）

Answer 5

Visual Studio Code does not have a language extensible story yet, but it could be coming soon. https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/languages#_common-questions
