Installation

Install Visual Studio Code first.

Open VSCode. Go to extensions and search for "ObjectScript" like it is shown on the attached screenshot and install it. Or install from ObjectScript extension page on Visual Studio Marketplace

Configure connection

To be able to use many plugin features, you need to configure the connection to Caché/IRIS server first. You can create or edit existing .vscode/settings.json file. So, your settings file may look something like this.

"objectscript.conn": {
  "active": true,
  "label": "LOCAL",
  "host": "127.0.0.1",
  "port": 52773,
  "username": "user",
  "password": "password",
  "ns": "USER",
  "https": false
}

Or you can edit it through settings editor. Which you can open from menu Code > Preferences > Settings for macOS or File > Preferences > Settings for Windows, search for "workspace settings" through Command Palette [⌘⇧P/Ctrl+Shift+P] or by shortcut [⌘+,/Ctrl+,].

• Find a 'objectscript', do not forget to set active to true port should follow to web port of instance (usually by default, 57772 for Caché/Ensemble, 52773 for IRIS)
• Change settings according to your Caché/IRIS instance
• You will see related output in "Output" while switched to "ObjectScript" channel (right drop-down menu on top of the output window)
