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
• Command to generate visualization for DAML project via command palette ctrl + p.

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

To see graphs from daml.visualize command please install Graphivz plugin.

For more information on DAML please see docs.daml.com.
