Feature Request
I am developing the vscode extension and it would be useful to improve the experience writing ECR through type information / jump to definition. The context and implementation tools should both be able to accept an .ecr
file just the same as it currently does a .cr
file, with line/col information, and if there exists a method/variable/etc at the location, it should return relevant information. The only other solution would be a custom ECR parser, but it would be better to have this integrated into the compiler itself. This does not break backwards compatibility.
greeter.ecr
<%
my_var = name
%>
greeter.cr
require "ecr"
class Greeter
getter name : String
def initialize(@name : String)
end
ECR.def_to_s "greeter.ecr"
end
Greeter.new("John").to_s # => "Greetings, John!\n"
$ crystal tool context -c greeter.ecr:2:12 greeter.cr
