vscode Version 0.10.2 (0.10.2) - no Intellisense in Razor files?

[neilyoung]

I can't get intellisense support in Razor files. On purpose?

To be more specific: JS intellisense is there. Missing support for @ tags

Not fully supported yet, sorry.

I got a similar response here...It's frustrating because Razor is a distinguishing feature of Microsoft's MVC platform, and yet neglected on this product and I'm not totally sure why. I also know that it's not quite deprecated, but won't be grown/enhanced going forward, partly because of tag helpers, which I'm sure I will like once I get more comfortable with them...and if they get intellisense, too. :-\

It is on the backlog and we will collaborate with the ASP.net team on this feature.

This could be another kind of issue but I have problems with intellisense in razor files as well.

I can't get suggestions with intellisense when I'm writing angular in a razor-file (cshtml). I've loaded the correct typings and everything works perfectly if I change the language mode to HTML instead of razor.

If language mode is set to Razor when writing the code below. Intellisense will not suggest "ng-controller". But if changed to HTML language it will.

<div ng-controller="myController as vm">

This might seem a bit pushy, but is there anywhere i can keep an eye on the progress of this? (Can't seem to find anything newer than this)

It's a feature i really miss, as i'm starting to thoroughly enjoy VSCode on Ubuntu with .NET Core and so on. (Also useful whilst learning Mvc)

I'd also be curious of the plans here - our designers would love to use VS Code for quick editing on Razor files.

From what I hear, it's not easy and will be a lot of work to implement.

I know that @david-driscoll has been playing around with implementing a razor host as part of omnisharp-roslyn. There's still a long long way to go though.

See his comments here: https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/issues/168#issuecomment-247905206

I have a branch that was the bare minimum to wire in the "basic" Razor runtime. It's available https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-roslyn/tree/razorhost.

When I say bare minimum, basically I was able to get diagnostics returned from the Razor host, and there were a lot of them because we I hadn't wired in any of the references (including things like mscorelib, lol).

What is the status of this?:)

[jtheisen]

@uxsoft I bet it's you better don't bet on doing Razor in the world of VS Code...

[NickCraver]

Razor is being split out from MVC now, known as "Razor Pages". I have no idea how this will impact getting support into VS Code as far as timelines, but it certainly makes it much more _possible_ to do it.

We try to keep VS Code lean and we think the functionality you're asking for is great for a VS Code extension. Maybe you can already find one that suits you in the VS Code Marketplace. Just in case, in a few simple steps you can get started writing your own extension. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Happy Coding!

Two and a half year later I almost forgot to have dealt with Razor at some point in time...
