0.3.0 (2021-11-20)
:mega: There are a lot of updates in this version:
1. The syntax of the Nginx configuration file is updated completely • Because the syntax from sublime extension and shanoor's repo are long time no updates. So I write a syntax generator for better highlight • New syntax is generated from codes. You can find them in generate-tmLanguage.ts • New syntax supports embedded Lua block • New syntax supports the directive statement in multiple lines • And extension configuration nginx-conf-hint.syntax is removed 2. Optimize hint data loader and document loader. They use less memory now and load data on demand 3. This extension can run as a web extension. So you can use this extension on now 4. The coverage of auto-completion is more, and auto-completion is smarter 1. Auto completion is based on the context and grammar of the configuration now 2. Fix some wrong auto-completion items 3. Autocomplete named location 4. Autocomplete directive's named argument 5. Autocomplete media types 5. Add editor definition support for location directive 6. Add new extension configuration nginx-conf-hint.externalModules for controlling enabled of external modules hint data 7. The source code is rewritten by using Typescript
