CAN database include (.dbc)

Have the possibility to include CAN database for signals autocompletion.

This one might take a while as I believe, the extension would need language server support for handling such query. But yes, eventually having this functionality would be sweet.

I'm just happy you made this actually !

You are welcome. Got tired of using the built-in editor. And couldn't find any extension in the market place. So, decided to make one myself. :)

Hi ! Thanks for your extension, so comfortable ! 👍

I was thinking about this issue of signal completion and i would propose to evolve this extension with a LAnguage server.

In the extensions API we can programmatically add completion entries during execution (see the VSCode features page. And because VSCode API propose reading files functions, we could directly parse .dbc files included in the Workspace and then add signal list to the completionList.

Here is a couple of API informations that are good introductions to these mecanisms :

• CompletionContext reference
• CompletionItem reference
• CompletionItemProvider reference
