This will make both the `askForLanguage` and `findLanguage` functions return a `QueryLanguage` instead of a `string`. This will make it harder to make mistakes when using these functions. There are also some other changes with regards to `QueryLanguage` such that we never need to use `as QueryLanguage` explicitly anymore, except for the new `isQueryLanguage` function. The only remaining place that I know of where we're using a `string` to represent the `QueryLanguage` is in a database item's language, but this is harder to change and may be relied upon by language authors.
CodeQL for Visual Studio Code
This project is an extension for Visual Studio Code that adds rich language support for CodeQL. It's used to find problems in code bases using CodeQL. It's written primarily in TypeScript.
The extension is released. You can download it from the Visual Studio Marketplace.
To see what has changed in the last few versions of the extension, see the Changelog.
Features
- Enables you to use CodeQL to query databases and discover problems in codebases.
- Shows the flow of data through the results of path queries, which is essential for triaging security results.
- Provides an easy way to run queries from the large, open source repository of CodeQL security queries.
- Adds IntelliSense to support you writing and editing your own CodeQL query and library files.
- Supports you running CodeQL queries against thousands of repositories on GitHub using multi-repository variant analysis.
Project goals and scope
This project will track new feature development in CodeQL and, whenever appropriate, bring that functionality to the Visual Studio Code experience.
Dependencies
This extension depends on the following two extensions for required functionality. They will be installed automatically when you install VS Code CodeQL.
