## BrightScript syntax for SublimeText 3 and 4

This is reimplementation of BrightScript syntax for [SublimeText](https://www.sublimetext.com/).

It started as a change to syntax file provided by [Roku](https://github.com/rokudev/sublimetext-package),

but after converting format and rewriting whole thing to add some basic, opinionated syntax checking,

not much was left from the original.

## Features

- very basic checks for common mistakes:

	- opinionated: `function` should have return type declared, `sub` cannot

	- inline `functions` and `sub` cannot have names

	- variable name alone in line is an error

- errors are highlighted

- supports new optional chaining operators

- marks syntax with additional (compared to original) Sublimes' classes,

  which enables code folding and other built-in features

- drops support for `bs` file extension, because it was taken by BrighterScript which is not supported (at least for now)

## Installation (manual)

Use menu "Preferences" -> "Browse Packages..." to open packages directory. Enter `User` subdirectory and copy

`BrightScript.sublime-syntax` and `BrightScript_comments.tmPreferences` files there.

If you want to modify the syntax, it might help to also copy `syntax_test_BrightScript.brs` file to the same directory.

## Installation (Package Control)

TODO: make this a proper SublimeText package so it can be installed with Package Control.
