Syntax highlighting and formatting .liq files

[jooola]

I was looking for a way to improve my experience when working with liquid soap files.

How can I enable syntax highlighting on .liq files ?
I tried Ocaml syntax but this doesn't feel like it's the same.

How to format code in .liq files ?
Again I tried ocamlformat but this didn't work as expected.
I didn't try dune, maybe this one does the trick.

So you guessed it, I don't know much about ocaml, and it's ecosystem. I would need some help to get this to work !

which IDE are you using?

I'm on VSCode and Syntax Highlighting is pretty good i think.

There is also good support for Emacs.

The Liquidsoap language is not OCaml, it is a language on its own!

I am using codium (vscode), or vim. But doesn't seem to work out of the box, what should I install ?

For vim this ? https://github.com/mcfiredrill/vim-liquidsoap

But regarding code formatting, how should I do ?

[smimram]

For VScode is seems to be this: https://github.com/vittee/vscode-liquidsoap

Ok thanks, with codium you use the open-vsx repository for extensions, which require dev to publish there extensions in a extra repository. This is why I didn't find this easily.

And what about formatting liquidsoap code ? Is there any interest for such tool ?

I usually use Ruby for when the liquidsoap highlighting plugin gets wonky in VSCode. It works pretty well.
