# DAML Studio

DAML Studio extends Visual Studio Code with the following DAML-specific
features:

- DAML syntax highlighting
- Real-time feedback on parse, name resolution, type-checking and
  Scenario interpretation errors and viewer for the resulting ledger
- Jumping to and peeking at the definition of referenced toplevel functions
- Type-information on hover
- Renaming of symbols
- DAML snippet support

Please note that this will only install the VSCode extension. Full use of the
above features will also require that you have a working DAML SDK installed,
which you can get with:

```
curl -s https://get.daml.com | sh
```

For more information on DAML please see [docs.daml.com](https://docs.daml.com).

## Troubleshooting

The DAML language server log output is available under the "Output" panel
(View->Output). Select "DAML Language Server" from the dropdown in the panel
to see the log.

## Debugging

Run `make` then open this directory in Visual Studio Code. Then click Debug ->
Start Debugging to run the extension in Debugging mode.
