This extension adds support for using Deno with Visual Studio Code, powered by the Deno language server.

⚠️ Important: You need to have a version of Deno CLI installed (v1.13.0 or later). The extension requires the executable and by default will use the environment path. You can explicitly set the path to the executable in Visual Studio Code Settings for deno.path.

Check here for instructions on how to install the Deno CLI.

• Type checking for JavaScript and TypeScript, including quick fixes, hover cards, intellisense, and more.
• Integrates with the version of the Deno CLI you have installed, ensuring there is alignment between your editor and the Deno CLI.
• Resolution of modules in line with Deno CLI's module resolution strategy allows caching of remote modules in Deno CLI's cache.
• Integration to Deno CLI's linting functionality, including inline diagnostics and hover cards.
• Integration to Deno CLI's formatting functionality.
• Allow specifying of import maps and TypeScript configuration files that are used with the Deno CLI.
• Auto completion for imports.
• Workspace folder configuration.
• Testing Code Lens.
• Provides Tasks for the Deno CLI.

1. Install the Deno CLI.
2. Install this extension.
3. Ensure deno is available in the environment path, or set its path via the deno.path setting in VSCode.
4. Open the VS Code command palette with Ctrl+Shift+P, and run the Deno: Initialize Workspace Configuration command.

We recognize that not every TypeScript/JavaScript project that you might work on in VSCode uses Deno — therefore, by default, this extension will only apply the Deno language server when the setting deno.enable is set to true. This can be done via editing the settings or using the command Deno: Initialize Workspace Configuration.

While you can enable Deno globally, you probably only want to do that if every JavaScript/TypeScript workspace you work on in VSCode is a Deno based one.

The extension provides several commands:

• Deno: Cache - instructs Deno to fetch and cache all the dependencies of the current file open in the editor. This is similar to doing deno cache on the command line. Deno will not automatically fetch and cache remote dependencies.

  ℹ️   If there are missing dependencies in a module, the extension will provide a quick fix to fetch and cache those dependencies, which invokes this command for you.

• Deno: Initialize Workspace Configuration - will enabled Deno on the current workspace and allow you to choose to enable linting and Deno unstable API options.

• Deno: Language Server Status - displays a page of information about the status of the Deno Language Server. Useful when submitting a bug about the extension or the language server. _ Deno: Reload Import Registries Cache - reload any cached responses from the configured import registries.

• Deno: Welcome - displays the information document that appears when the extension is first installed.

The extension provides formatting capabilities for JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, and TSX documents. When choosing to format a document or setting up a default formatter for these type of files, the extension should be listed as an option.

ℹ️   It does not currently provide format-on-paste or format-on-type capabilities.

You can control the settings for this extension through your VS Code settings page. You can open the settings page using the Ctrl+, keyboard shortcut. The extension has the following configuration options:

• deno.enable: Controls if the Deno Language Server is enabled. When enabled, the extension will disable the built-in VSCode JavaScript and TypeScript language services, and will use the Deno Language Server (deno lsp) instead. boolean, default false
• deno.path: A path to the deno executable. If unset, the extension will use the environment path to resolve the deno executable. If set, the extension will use the supplied path. The path should include the executable name (e.g. /usr/bin/deno, C:\Program Files\deno\deno.exe).
• deno.codeLens.implementations: Enables or disables the display of code lens information for implementations for items in the code. boolean, default false
• deno.codeLens.references: Enables or disables the display of code lens information for references of items in the code. boolean, default false
• deno.codeLens.referencesAllFunctions: Enables or disables the display of code lens information for all functions in the code. Requires deno.codeLens.references to be enabled as well. boolean, default false
• deno.codeLens.test: Enables or disables the display of test code lens on Deno tests. boolean, default true.
• deno.codeLens.testArgs: Provides additional arguments that should be set when invoking the Deno CLI test from a code lens. array of strings, default [ "--allow-all" ].
• deno.config: The file path to a configuration file. This is the equivalent to using --config on the command line. The path can be either be relative to the workspace, or an absolute path. It is recommended you name this file either deno.json or deno.jsonc. string, default null, examples: ./deno.jsonc, /path/to/deno.jsonc, C:\path\to\deno.jsonc
• deno.importMap: The file path to an import map. This is the equivalent to using --import-map on the command line. Import maps provide a way to "relocate" modules based on their specifiers. The path can either be relative to the workspace, or an absolute path. string, default null, examples: ./import_map.json, /path/to/import_map.json, C:\path\to\import_map.json
• deno.internalDebug: If enabled the Deno Language Server will log additional internal diagnostic information.
• deno.lint: Controls if linting information will be provided by the Deno Language Server. boolean, default false
• deno.suggest.imports.hosts: A map of domain hosts (origins) that are used for suggesting import auto completions. (See: ImportCompletions for more information.)
• deno.unstable: Controls if code will be type checked with Deno's unstable APIs. This is the equivalent to using --unstable on the command line. boolean, default false

We appreciate your help!

To build the extension locally, clone this repository and run the following steps:

1. Open this folder in VS Code.
2. Run npm i.
3. Run npm run compile.
4. Run the Launch Client launch task from the VSCode debug menu.

Most changes and feature enhancements do not require changes to the extension though, as most information comes from the Deno Language Server itself, which is integrated into the Deno CLI. Please check out the contribution guidelines for the Deno CLI.

This project was inspired by justjavac/vscode-deno and axetroy/vscode-deno. Thanks for their contributions.
