Visual Studio Code Extension

Grit comes with a Visual Studio Code extension that provides easy integration of Grit into your editor.

The Grit extension is available in the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.

Note: you currently must install the Grit CLI separately to use the extension.

From the command palette, you can run Grit: Apply Pattern to apply any configured pattern to the current file.

Alternatively, you can run Grit: Fix File to apply all configured patterns to the current file at once.

The Grit extension runs configured patterns on your code and highlights any matches. For rewrite patterns, a code action is available to quickly fix the issue.

From the command palette, you can run Grit: Search with GritQL to open a search file allowing you to scan for GritQL matches directly in your editor. The search input accepts any valid GritQL query and highlights matches in your codebase.

You must install the Grit CLI separately to use the extension.

Confirm that the engine is installed by running grit version. If the error persists, try running grit install --update to ensure your installation is up to date.
