We are very excited today to announce the immediate release of our first two extensions for Microsoft Visual Studio Code

ColdBox Extension


https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ortus-solutions.vscode-coldbox

Our ColdBox Extension is very similar to our Sublime extension but better! I have to admit that VSCode is absolutely great and we have been able to not only release our collection of snippets but give you typeahead and scope recognition in this extension. Just type any of our recognized injections like:

  • controller
  • event
  • wirebox
  • cachebox
  • etc

And you will get nice autocompletion. Stay tuned as we have many many features planned for the extension.

TestBox Extension


https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ortus-solutions.vscode-testbox

Our TestBox extension is a port of our Sublime extension with all of its snippets glory. Next versions will include more features, but for now snippets it is.

BoxLang NeoVim Plugin Released

BoxLang NeoVim Plugin Released

We're excited to announce the release of the BoxLang NeoVim Plugin - a comprehensive syntax highlighting solution designed specifically for BoxLang developers working in Vim and NeoVim environments. This isn't a port or adaptation of existing CFML syntax files; it's a ground-up implementation built for BoxLang's modern feature set. Coming soon as well will be our runners, syntax validators, and integration with our LSP for live previews, insights, and much more.
