Restructure VS Code integration guide with objective section titles and corrected ArkThemes information by Copilot · Pull Request #153 · yamcodes/arkenv

Copilot · 2025-09-12T09:00:11Z

Restructured the "Integrating with VS Code" documentation to better explain the two levels of syntax highlighting support available for ArkEnv users.

Changes Made

Clearer positioning of syntax highlighting options:
- Repositioned the ArkType VS Code extension with objective title "ArkType VS Code Extension: Syntax Highlighting and Error Lens"
- Added ArkThemes with objective title "ArkThemes: Special Highlighting" emphasizing TypeScript generics support
Improved content organization:
- Removed unnecessary repetition and redundant explanations
- Consolidated installation steps into the main extension description
- Simplified the import styles section to focus on the key differences
- Removed the separate "Migration Guide" section (information merged into import styles)
Enhanced clarity:
- Used plain English throughout the documentation
- Better structured sections with clearer headings
- Reduced the content from 92 lines to 67 lines while maintaining all essential information
- Used "Better DX" abbreviation for conciseness
Corrected ArkThemes information:
- Fixed link to correct VS Code marketplace URL
- Clarified that ArkThemes is not limited to Cursor editor
- Emphasized special highlighting for TypeScript generics as the key differentiator
Final refinements:
- Simplified description to focus on VS Code specifically
- Streamlined ArkType extension introduction to be more direct and concise
- Removed redundant introductory paragraph
- Streamlined ArkThemes description by removing redundant explanations
Updated Best Practices section:
- Added JetBrains IDEs to the list of supported editors for syntax highlighting
- Removed the consistency bullet point to focus on the core recommendations

The restructured guide now clearly presents a progression from basic to enhanced syntax highlighting options, making it easier for users to choose the right setup for their development environment.

Fixes #152.

 - **Syntax highlighting** for ArkType definitions in your schema
 - **Inline error summaries** via ErrorLens integration
- **Better developer experience** with visual feedback
+- **Basic validation feedback** for common mistakes


I liked when it said "Better developer experience" (or DX).

Updated the text to restore "Better developer experience" as requested in commit 6fe1e30.

+ArkEnv works great with modern code editors that support syntax highlighting for ArkType definitions. There are two levels of support you can choose from, depending on your needs and editor preferences.

-The [ArkType VS Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=arktypeio.arkdark) provides syntax highlighting and inline error summaries for ArkType definitions, making your development experience with ArkEnv much more pleasant.
+## Minimum Recommendation: Basic Syntax Highlighting


This is too diminishing... a more objective title like "## ArkType VS Code Extension: Syntax Highlighting and Error Lens" is better.

Changed the title to "## ArkType VS Code Extension: Syntax Highlighting and Error Lens" for a more objective approach in commit 6fe1e30.

The title is already set to "## ArkType VS Code Extension: Syntax Highlighting and Error Lens" as requested. This change was made in the previous commit to provide a more objective title.

-## Alternative Import Styles
+## Enhanced Option: Full TypeScript-like Syntax Highlighting


This is too subjective. "## ArkThemes: Special Highlighting" is better.

Updated the title to "## ArkThemes: Special Highlighting" as suggested in commit 6fe1e30.

+For an even better development experience, [ArkThemes](https://marketplace.cursorapi.com/items/?itemName=arktypeio.arkthemes) provides full TypeScript-like syntax highlighting for ArkType definitions. Currently available for Cursor editor, this extension offers more comprehensive highlighting that makes ArkType schemas feel like native TypeScript code.



Change the link to https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=arktypeio.arkthemes and it's not true that it's just for cursor.

and the biggest difference is that ArkThemes provide special highlighting for typescript generics.

Fixed the ArkThemes link to https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=arktypeio.arkthemes, removed the Cursor-only limitation, and emphasized the special highlighting for TypeScript generics in commit 6fe1e30.

Updated the ArkThemes link to the correct VS Code marketplace URL (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=arktypeio.arkthemes), removed the Cursor-only limitation, and emphasized the special highlighting for TypeScript generics as the key differentiator.

I'm not a fan of the description and this paragraph. We're only talking about VS Code here anyway @copilot

Simplified the description and removed the redundant introductory paragraph to focus specifically on VS Code as requested in commit fdd98ef.
