To enable WGSL language support in your IDE, you can integrate the wgsl-analyzer by following these steps:
-
Open an
.wgslfile in your project. -
Click on Install WGSL Analyzer:
-
This will open the New Language Server Dialog with
WGSL Analyzerpre-selected: -
Click OK. This will create the
WGSL Analyzerdefinition and start the installation: -
Once the installation completes, the server should start automatically and provide WGSL language support (autocomplete, diagnostics, etc.).
If the installation fails, you can customize the installation settings in the Installer tab,
then click on the Run Installation hyperlink to reinstall the server:
See Installer descriptor for more information.
Since IntelliJ does not provide native WGSL TextMate support, and the language server does not handle syntax highlighting, you need to set up a TextMate bundle manually.
-
Clone the wgsl-analyzer repository:
git clone https://github.com/wgsl-analyzer/wgsl-analyzer.git
-
Open TextMate Bundles settings
- Click the
+button and select the folder wgsl-analyzer/editors/code folder. This folder contains the package.json and the TextMate grammar.
Once done, IntelliJ will apply syntax highlighting, bracket matching, and other basic editor features for .wgsl files.
