Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• motoko.dfx: The location of the dfx binary
• motoko.canister: By default we'll let you choose what canister defined in your project you want to use, use this setting to change that to a specific one
• motoko.standaloneArguments: Additional arguments to pass to the language service when running in a non-dfx project
• motoko.standaloneBinary: The location of the mo-ide binary (when running in a non-dfx project)

Contributing

When hacking on the extension you can package your local version by running:

npm install
npm run package

This should leave you with a vscode-motoko-x.x.x.vsix file in the project root.

Next run code --install-extension vscode-motoko-x.x.x.vsix to install your development version. If this doesn't work, you can also use the VSCode UI to install from a local .vsix file.
