*Do you want this syntax highlight online? Check out my [MELFA for highlight.js repo](https://github.com/zserub/MELFA-highlight.js)*

## Features

- **Syntax highlight**

- **Snippets**

- **Custom color theme**

- **2 type formatters** *(additional extension required)*

## Workflow

Create a new workspace in RT Toolbox, then open the prg file with VS Code

**or** Select an existing program for modification.

Format code to get rid of the line numbers.

Write your program. After finishing your program, run the `deformer` to apply back the line numbers (Toolbox will automatically update the ones).

Open the file in RT Toolbox, then upload to the robot.

### Requirements

- Python (or you can use formatter.exe instead)

- [Custom Local Formatters](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jkillian.custom-local-formatters) (for running the 'deformer' in VS Code)

## Setup

**Install from marketplace**

or

#### *Manual installation:*

*Clone the repo to `C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\extensions\`*

### Activate theme

`Ctrl + Shift + P` **-->** `Preferences: Color Theme` **-->** `Dark Theme for MELFA-Basic`

## Setup 'deformer'

Install [Custom Local Formatters](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jkillian.custom-local-formatters)

Open settings.json *([Ctrl + , ] --> custom local formatters --> `edit in settings.json`)*

Paste:

```

"customLocalFormatters.formatters": [

        {

            "command":"python \"%localappdata%\\Programs\\Microsoft VS Code\\resources\\app\\extensions\\MELFA-Basic\\formatter\\deformerV2.py\"",

            "languages": ["melfa-basic"]

        }

    ],

```

**Deformer usage:**

`Ctrl + Shift + P` **-->** `Format document with...` **-->** `Custom Local Formatters`

## How formatter works

- Removes the line numbers and `'` in empty lines

- Adjust spaces

- Corrects uppercase in keywords

Indent with the following logic:

- Standard indentation rules for conditions and loops

- Reset indentation after new label

### Deformer

Formats the code for RT Toolbox.

- Insert line numbers (Toolbox will readjust)

- Comment empty lines so Toolbox won't delete them
