Explore GitHub Codespaces Possibilities with 4D
GitHub offers powerful tools for developers. One of them is Codepaces, which lets you develop code stored in a GitHub repo online from anywhere using an integrated instance of Visual Studio Code.
This is also the case with 4D projects!
Let’s discover this powerful tool and see a new way of coding!
Auto Tool4D Download in 4D-Analyzer Extension for VS Code
We’re pleased to announce a useful new simplification in the 4D-Analyzer extension for Visual Studio Code!
This feature is aimed at streamlining the process of getting started and enhancing development with VS Code for 4D.
Until now, the 4D-Analyzer extension for VS Code required a 4D application (4D, 4D Server, or tool4d) running in the background. This setup enabled the extension to communicate with the 4D LSP (Language Server Protocol) server.
However, this requirement has been eliminated with the release of version 0.2.0 of the extension.

VS Code: Go To Definition & Signature Help
4D v19 R6 brought the support of external source code editors (e.g., Visual Studio Code), allowing them to handle 4D code and provide them with standard functionalities such as syntax highlighting using the Visual Studio Code extension.
4Dv19 R7 brings two new capabilities: Go To Definition and Signature Help.
Setting up code syntax highlighting using the Visual Studio Code extension
We recently talked about our new Visual Studio Code extension allowing VS Code to communicate with 4D for code management. The syntax highlighting was the first Language Server Protocol feature in 4D v19 R6. Let’s see how to customize your source code rendering.
A brand new Visual Studio Code extension at your disposal
4D now supports the Language Server Protocol to allow external source code editors to handle 4D code and provide them with standard functionalities such as syntax highlighting, syntax help, go to definition, or type ahead. Let’s see how to take advantage of it in Visual Studio Code.
