Raku Navigator

This is a Raku Extension for Visual Studio Code including a Language Server. Currently it provides

  • Definition of Raku language and file associations
  • Icon for Raku files
  • Syntax Highlighting (thanks to https://github.com/Raku/atom-language-perl6)
  • Snippets for simple loops and grammars
  • Language Server providing:
    • Syntax checking and warnings
    • Outline view and breadcrumbs
    • Autocompletion and go-to definition on local variables, grammars, and classes

Install the vscode extension from: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bscan.raku-navigator

Other recommended settings

I also recommend the following vscode settings when using Raku. The word separators are important for highlighting function names that have a hyphen in them, and for variables that include sigils.

"[raku]": {
	"editor.wordSeparators": "`~!#^&*()=+[{]}\\|;:'\",.<>/?",
},

Configuration Settings

  • raku.rakuPath specifies the location of your raku install. Defaults to "raku"
  • raku.includePaths adds locations to the path via a -I command line switch
