Instructions

  1. npm install client/server dependencies, run Extension
  2. open PHP file from example folder, and *.ast file to the side
  3. check out error information, and corresponding AST
  4. make some changes, and save to view updates

Settings

  • php.syntaxVisualizer.parserPath: set this path to use a different parser version than the one bundled with the syntax visualizer. For instance, after git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/tolerant-php-parser, set php.syntaxVisualizer.parserPath to the absolute directory of the tolerant-php-parser/src folder. This will enable you to easily debug the parser during development.
