Auto-completion

  • Edit .object.yml files and get suggestions for:
    • Field types
    • Validation operators
    • Index configurations
    • AI search settings

🔧 Technical Details

  • Language: TypeScript (strict mode)
  • Dependencies:
    • vscode-languageclient: ^9.0.1
    • Requires: redhat.vscode-yaml extension
  • Activation: Triggered when ObjectQL files are detected in workspace
  • Size: 29 KB packaged
  • Files: 22 files in package

🎨 File Type Support

  • *.object.yml - Object definitions (with custom icon)
  • *.validation.yml - Validation rules (with custom icon)
  • *.permission.yml - Permission rules
  • *.app.yml - Application configuration

⚙️ Configuration Options

{
  "objectql.validation.enabled": true,
  "objectql.completion.enabled": true,
  "objectql.diagnostics.enabled": true,
  "objectql.trace.server": "off"
}

📚 Testing

Test workspace included with example files:

  • test-workspace/src/objects/product.object.yml - Complete product object
  • test-workspace/src/validations/product.validation.yml - Validation rules

To test:

  1. Open extension folder in VS Code
  2. Press F5 to launch Extension Development Host
  3. Open test-workspace files
  4. Verify snippets, validation, and commands work

🔜 Future Enhancements

  • Add PNG icon (currently using SVG)
  • Publish to VS Code Marketplace
  • Add hover documentation with examples
  • Implement diagnostics for custom validation

  2. Schema Coverage: Permission and validation files don't have dedicated schemas yet
  3. Marketplace: Not yet published to VS Code Marketplace
  4. Testing: No automated tests yet (manual testing only)

📖 Documentation

All documentation is complete and includes:
