Supra Move VS Code Extension

Welcome to the official documentation for the Supra Move VS Code Extension, a one-stop developer tool designed to streamline development on the Supra MoveVM.

Download & Installation

Visit the VS Code Marketplace and download the Supra Extension Here.

OR, Install via VS Code Extensions Activity Bar:

• Open VS Code.

• Navigate to the Extensions view (click the Extensions icon in the Activity Bar on the left).

• Click the search bar on the top and type name "Supra Move" and click Install.

Getting Started

Once the extension is installed:

1. Create a new .move file or open an existing one.

Verify that VS Code sets the file’s language to “move” (check the bottom-right corner of the window). This ensures both syntax highlighting and IntelliSense are activated.

1. Start typing Move code. For instance, you can try the following sample module code:

module Hello::0xhello {

    use supra_framework::
    use std::

struct TestStruct has copy {
    pub name: String,
    pub age: u32,

}

As you type, you should see:

• Syntax Highlighting: Keywords, functions, namespaces, and variables are color-coded.

• IntelliSense Suggestions: When you type use supra_framework::, a drop-down appears with available functions such as chain_id and when u type use std:, a drop-down apperars with available functions as signer.

Key Features

Syntax Highlighting

• Enhanced Readability: Improve code clarity with color-coded syntax that highlights keywords, types, and functions.

IntelliSense & Auto-Completion

• Get instant suggestions for namespaces, functions, and struct attributes as you type.

What Developers No Longer Need to Do:

• Function signatures and current module dropdown suggestions are readily available as you code.

• Auto-completion minimizes typos, letting you focus on your application logic.

• Stay within VS Code without the need to reference external documentation repeatedly.
