Change log

Notable changes to the xDBML language support extension.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog.

0.3.0

Adds a one-click bridge from the editor to the playground.

Open in Playground command (xDBML: Open in Playground). It opens the current .xdbml file -- or the current selection -- in the hosted playground at xdbml.org with the schema already loaded, so there is no copy and paste. Available from a button in the editor title bar, the editor right-click menu, and the command palette. The link uses the same lz-string #s= share format as the renderer and the HTTP render API, so it round-trips exactly.

This is the extension's first release with runtime activation code. The bundle is built with esbuild at publish time (vscode:prepublish), and lz-string is bundled in, so the packaged extension stays self-contained.

Adds syntax highlighting for the constructs introduced in xDBML v0.2.

Module system keywords: use, reuse, from, as are now highlighted with a dedicated keyword.control.module.xdbml scope. These appear in v0.2's use/reuse ... from './path' { ... } directives (spec §26). The as keyword also serves DBML table- aliasing (Table users as u) under the same scope.
Entity-level checks block: the checks keyword (alongside the existing indexes) is recognized as a setting key. v0.2 §10 introduces it as an entity-level block of multi-column constraint expressions.
cloned_at directive setting: the v0.2 [cloned_at: '...'] metadata on use/reuse directives is recognized as a setting key.
inactive flag: the v0.2 [inactive] flag on Ref declarations (visualization-only deactivation, spec §11.9) is now categorized as a setting flag rather than a setting key, matching its no-value syntax. This is a minor scope correction; visually identical in most themes.

Color settings on Ref and TableGroup ([color: '#...']) were already highlighted by the existing setting-key vocabulary; no change needed.
v0.2 also adds scalar Named Types (Type Email varchar [...], spec §14.7). The TextMate grammar already highlights Type as a declaration keyword and varchar as a scalar type, so no new pattern is required -- the scalar form is highlighted via existing rules.

Maintenance release. See git history.

Initial release.

TextMate grammar for xDBML covering declaration keywords (Project, Container, Schema, Database, Keyspace, Namespace, Dataset, Bucket, Table, Entity, Collection, Record, Type, Edge, View, Enum, Ref, Note, TablePartial, TableGroup, DiagramView).
