Angular Language Service for Visual Studio

Great news everyone: The Angular Language Service is coming to Visual Studio!

For those who don’t know, the Angular team has done a lot of great work on powering up the editing experience for Angular using something called the Angular Language Service. It lays the foundation to provide things like auto-completion, rename, and more across editors.

And today, we’re excited to bring it to Visual Studio.

For some background, our team went through a series of customer calls to understand their workflows and pain-points. After talking with lots of these customers, we noticed a high number of ASP.NET/ASP.NET Core users were building their front-end in Angular. Unfortunately, outside of standard Visual Studio editor features (such as code completions, IntelliSense, Go to Definition and etc), there isn’t much support for Angular.

That is why we decided to bring the Angular Language Service for a better customer experience. The extension will bring in Angular code completions, Angular Diagnostic messages and Quick Info. Go to Definition will be coming soon.

Please note you will need to have a minimum version of 16.5.0 of Visual Studio to use this extension

Usage

1. Download the Extension from the Visual Studio

Via The Visual Studio Marketplace

You can find the extension here.

Select the Download button and then open up the .vsix file to get the extension into Visual Studio

Via Visual Studio

If you don’t have one already created here are some options in creating them:

_Please note for both Standalone options you will need to create an angular project via command line first. You can find that tutorial _here

3. Getting the Extension Working

Once you have your Angular project open, be sure to Build the solution !

Open up a .ts or html file in the Angular Project.

You will know that the Extension is working by viewing your Output Window. There should be two additional options in the drop down window:

Angular Language Service: This is the output of the extension when it is active and working within a file.
Angular Language Service Extension: This is the output from Visual Studio when it is loading up the extension. You will not see much output from this option once the extension is up and running.

Install Angular - Angular Environment Setup Process

Angular is a TypeScript based framework that works in synchronization with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. To work with angular, domain knowledge of these 3 is required.

Installing Node.js and npm
Installing Angular CLI
Creating workspace
Deploying your First App

In this article, you will get to know about the Angular Environment setup process. After reading this article, you will be able to install, setup, create, and launch your own application in Angular. So let’s start!!!

Install Angular in Easy Steps

For Installing Angular on your Machine, there are 2 prerequisites:

Node.js
npm Package Manager

Node.js

First you need to have Node.js installed as Angular require current, active LTS or maintenance LTS version of Node.js

Download and Install Node.js version suitable for your machine’s operating system.

Npm Package Manager

Angular, Angular CLI and Angular applications are dependent on npm packages. By installing Node.js, you have automatically installed the npm Package manager which will be the base for installing angular in your system. To check the presence of npm client and Angular version check of npm client, run this command:

npm -v

Installing Angular CLI

Open Terminal/Command Prompt
To install Angular CLI, run the below command:

npm install -g @angular/cli

· After executing the command, Angular CLI will get installed within some time. You can check it using the following command

ng --version

Workspace Creation

Now as your Angular CLI is installed, you need to create a workspace to work upon your application. Methods for it are:

Using CLI
Using Visual Studio Code

1. Using CLI

To create a workspace:

Navigate to the desired directory where you want to create your workspace using cd command in the Terminal/Command prompt
Then in the directory write this command on your terminal and provide the name of the app which you want to create. In my case I have mentioned DataFlair:

Ng new YourAppName

After running this command, it will prompt you to select from various options about the CSS and other functionalities.

To leave everything to default, simply press the Enter or the Return key.

Visual Studio 2019 v16.7 Preview 2 Available Today!

C++ Updates

Visual Studio v16.7 Preview 2 delivers various improvements in the C++ space. Within the Connection Manager, you’re now able to edit remote SSH connections, e.g. if the IP address of your target system changes and needs to be updated. You’re also able to set default remote connections to be consumed via **${defaultRemoteMachineName} **in CMakeSettings.json and launch.vs.json.

When you edit a remote connection, Visual Studio will no longer need to recopy headers to Windows for a native IntelliSense experience. Likewise, setting default remote connections is useful for checking CMakeSettings.json and launch.vs.json into source control with no user or machine-specific information. These remote connections over SSH allow you to build and debug your C++ projects on a remote Linux system directly from Visual Studio.

C++ Add or Remove SSH Connections with Connection Manager

This release also brings enhanced IntelliSense support for Clang on Windows (clang-cl) in Visual Studio. The clang include path now includes the clang libraries, we’ve improved the display of in-editor squiggles (particularly when using the std library), and we’ve added support for C++2a is supported in clang mode.

The Preview release also contains four new code analysis rules to incorporate additional safety features into C++: C26817, C26818, C26819, and C26820. Please see the C++ Team Blog for more info.

In addition, new C++20 Standard Library features have been implemented. A detailed list is provided in the STL Changelog on GitHub.

.NET Productivity

Quick Info now displays the diagnostic ID along with a help link where you can easily navigate to our documentation to learn more about warnings and errors in your code.

Diagnostic ID with help links in .NET Productivity

Git Productivity

We continue to release more Git functionality in Visual Studio 2019. This time we focus on merge conflict resolution. We’ve revamped the Visual Studio merge editor by decoupling it from TFVC and focusing it on Git.

A new gold info bar at the top of a file will tell you when there are merge conflicts that need to be manually resolved. Clicking will take you to the merge editor, which now has more informative tiles and captions to help you distinguish between the conflicting branches. We’ve reduced the clutter around the zoom margin, health margin, and the toolbar. In addition, it is easier to parse conflicts with aligned matching lines, word level differences, and visible whitespace when it is the only difference. You can turn off non-conflicting differences to just focus on the conflicts. You can also resolve add/add conflicts at the file level now with a two-way merge. Finally, we have added a checkbox to resolve all conflicts on one side or the other with a single click.

Try the new features by toggling the Preview Feature for New Git user experience in Tools > Options.

Improved Git Functionality in Visual Studio 2019 under the Tools Menu

In other Git improvements, we will now close any open folders or solutions before starting a new clone operation, so that Visual Studio can open the newly cloned repo to help you get to your code faster. We’ve improved upon the commit text box, adding inline error checking. And we’ve added UI to help you more clearly understand what is happening when you initialize and push a repository to a remote host like GitHub or Azure Repos.

Local Process with Kubernetes

Local Process with Kubernetes allows you to write, test and debug your .NET code on your development workstation while connected to your Kubernetes cluster with the rest of your application or services. By connecting your development workstation to your cluster, you eliminate the need to manually run and configure dependent services on your development machine. Environment variables, connection strings and volumes from the cluster are available to your microservice code running locally.

For more information on Local Process with Kubernetes, we have detailed it out in our team blog.
