The MongoDB language support for VSCode extensions.
The MongoDB language is built for the official MongoDB VSCode plugin that introduces a new .mongodb
extension for its playground, but can be used as a MongoDB language support by any other plugin that uses the .mongodb
extension.
The MongoDB Language Extension is not released yet. To start using this extension with VSCode copy it into the <user home>/.vscode/extensions
folder and restart VSCode.
The MongoDB Shell language is a JavaScript-based query language that supports extended JSON, also called BSON.
The mongodb.tmLanguage.json
file is derived from TypeScript.tmLanguage and injected with MongoDB symbols from mongodb-symbols.json
.
If you download a new version of the TypeScript grammar or update the MongoDB symbols you should update the MongoDB grammar by running the script:
npm run update-grammar
The script does the following changes:
- Parses the
TypeScript.tmLanguage
plist and buildsmongodb.tmLanguage.json
. - Updates
.ts
file types, rule names and scope to.mongodb
. - Injects the
mongodb.tmLanguage.json
grammar with MongoDB symbols.
Compare uuid
in TypeScript.tmLanguage
and mongodb.tmLanguage.json
to verify that a proper version of the grammar is being used.
The mongodb-symbols.json
file contains symbols that are defined in mongodb-ace-mode.
Note: ACE supports the importing of .tmtheme and .tmlanguage files for use in the editor. Probably vscode-mongodb-language
can be a source of truth for other projects instead of requiring symbols from mongodb-ace-mode
.
