Writing Syntax Highlighting for Bicep files #1970
-
|
I'm guessing Bicep will be supported on VSCode and Visual Studio, but are there good resources for using .bicep files with other editors? I'm curious if there's a .tmLanguage file (which could be used in several editors, such as TextMate and Sublime) or if anyone is interested in writing an extension for IntelliJ based IDEs such as Rider. |

Bicep exposes a language server - an executable which implements the Language Service Protocol, an open standard for providing syntax highlighting, validation, completions, snippets, and other IDE functionality. For any editors supporting this standard (list here), supporting Bicep should just require a very thin wrapper around running the executable and passing messages back-and-forth. If you (or anyone else reading this issue) is interested in more technical details about how to set this up, I'm definitely happy to go into more detail! We're also tracking syntax highlighting support for popular (non-LSP) libraries under this issue: #596. |

@brwilkinson I did get it working on Sublime Text 4, which has now been officially released. Would love to get it working with Rider (which has an LSP plugin), but couldn't get it to work last I tried. I'm hoping someone just creates a Bicep plugin for IntelliJ or Rider! |

@MikeChristensen You might want to follow up on the other thread #596 for that one, since I don't see it listed at the moment. |

Looks like #596 was closed and Rider was never added :'-( |
