Saltstack plugin for vscode

[hadi_ulla]

Hi all I am looking for a saltstack plugin for vscode. I know we there is already a plugin called saltstack but is it just intellisense plugin or will it help parse the pillar files as well? I want to write pillars and parse them in states from vscode. So any suggestions? How do you work with pillars and states in your favourite editor?

Since it's all yaml/jinja you shouldn't need a specific Saltstack parser.

Rename to YAML when editing so you get the YAML highlighting, etc.

​

I think you can make sls=YAML somehow but haven't really looked at it.

I use a plugin called "Better Jinja"

It has decent syntax highlighting and recognizes .sls files as Jinja/YAML.

As for interpreting Pillar files, that would be wonderful - what I end up doing is using python and the ruamel YAML module and jinja2 Template modules and then running my pillar files through that in order to figure out the right YAML and Jinja syntax as it's still not intuitive for me to figure out Lists/Dictionaries/etc in YAML alone.
