Codeneric has only forked the original VSCode Hack extension to make some use case specific modifications. Thus, all the credit for the awesome extension goes to Pranay Agarwal. Furthermore, this fork will not implement all the new Hack language features, because we are focusing on transpiling Hack to PHP rather than building native Hack applications. This fork might be instersting for you if you want to build WordPress plugins with Hack, otherwise you should probably stay with Pranay's repo.
run vsce package

- Experimental Language Server support - If you are running HHVM 3.23 or later, add
"hack.useLanguageServer": trueto your workspace config to start hh_client in Language Server mode (see #15 for more context). - Support for running against a containerized Hack typecheck server (see Docker section in README). Thanks @beatscode!

This extension is supported on Linux and Mac OS X 10.10 onwards (see HHVM compatibility). The latest versions of Hack typechecking tools (hh_client and hh_server) are required on the local machine. The workspace should have a .hhconfig file at its root.
This extension adds the following Visual Studio Code settings. These can be set in user preferences (⌘+,) or workspace settings (.vscode/settings.json).
hack.clientPath: Absolute path to the hh_client executable. This can be left empty if hh_client is already in your environment $PATH. Adocker execcommand is supported as well.hack.workspaceRootPath: Absolute path to the workspace root directory. This will be the VS Code workspace root by default, but can be changed if the project is in a subdirectory or mounted in a Docker container.hack.enableCoverageCheck: Enable calculation of Hack type coverage percentage for every file and display in status bar (default:false).hack.useLanguageServer: [Experimental] Start hh_client in Language Server mode. Only works for HHVM version 3.23 and above (default:false).
The extension can be used in a contanerized development environment. Simply configure clientPath to be a docker exec command and specify a workspaceRootPath mapping.
E.g. if your container was started using
$ docker run -d -t --name my-hhvm -v /home/user/repos/project:/mnt/project hhvm/hhvm:latestConfigure
"hack.clientPath": "docker exec -i my-hhvm hh_client",
"hack.workspaceRootPath": "/mnt/project"Please file all bugs, issues, feature requests etc. at the GitHub issues page.
