• Key words highlighting • Kivy language snippets • Basic snippets of the uix widget inside class rule • Linter syntax parser with error detection using language server for KvLang • KvLang as Embedded language in files with python extension

Quick Start

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code 1.34.0 or newer • Python 3.x or 2.7 for the language server • Kivy open source Python library

Testing was performed in

• Windows 10 with Python 3.7.0 • Ubuntu 18.10 with Python 2.7.15

TODO

• Add code formatting • Add IntelliSense support • Improve Kvlang Language Server

Known Issues

• Language server is implemented in Python. Lack of it will cause problems with extension • Kivy module is also mandatory. KvLint will show only basic lint information when module is missing from used python path • When lint messages are not cleared or updated, restart of Visual Code is required

Embedded language

• To activate new functionality special keyword must be used for language detection • Two snippets can be used in the extension to create current keyword "kveb" and "kvev"
