Coder provides a JSON Schema for workspace templates that enables code completion and syntax checking.

Requirements

You must have the YAML extension by Red Hat installed to use this feature.

How to use

Create a file called coder.yaml, and add the following to the top (be sure to replace the <deployment_url> placeholder with your Coder deployment URL):

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://<deployment_url>/api/private/template/schemas/wac.schema.json

# Write your YAML config here

At this point, you can use the code completion and syntax checking features.

Keyboard shortcuts

Some keyboard shortcuts you may find helpful include:

  • Document outlining (Ctrl + Shift + O)
  • Auto completion (Ctrl + Space)

See the YAML extension by Red Hat docs for additional shortcuts.
