fast-tagged-templates v0.1.0

FAST Tagged Template Literals

fast-tagged-templates is a Visual Studio Code extension which enables syntax highlighting for css and html tagged template literals in JavaScript and TypeScript files.

Screenshots

CSS Tagged Templates

Both tagged template literals (css`.style {}`;) and comment-style untagged template literals (/* css */`.style {}`;) are supported.

HTML Tagged Templates

In addition to the standard styles, the html syntax highlighting also allows for optional generics in Typescript (html<any>`<div></div>`; and /* html<Generic> */`<div></div>`;).

The theme used in the screenshots is Boxy Tomorrow.

Recommendations

Adjust existing themes

Some theme extensions may need minor adjustments, depending on how their scopes are maintained. To override certain scopes, you may need to add textMateRules to your user settings. For example:

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
  // Fix parentheses on functions and expressions in strings for this particular theme
  "[Boxy Tomorrow]": {
    "textMateRules": [
      { "settings": { "foreground": "#8ABEB7" }, "scope": "meta.brace.round.ts"}
      { "settings": { "foreground": "#C5C8C6" }, "scope": "meta.template.expression.ts"}
    ]
  }
}
