Feature: Buildx bake HCL schema
Not sure if this is the right spot for a feature request, but I just started working with the new bake file syntax and noticed there doesn't seem to be any support for syntax highlighting inside of a .hcl file?
Hashicorp has a general extension for .hcl files, but it would be nice of course to have all of the docker fields available!
Would love to at least kick off the discussion!
@mckelveygreg from past experience, trying to have two competing syntax highlighting implementations for a specific language gets messy quickly; I'd suggest opening up an issue on the existing hcl extension or syntax implementations to request support for the bake file specific usage of hcl since that would provide the most straightforward path to proper syntax highlighting.
I took a look at those repos, and I think I original talked about the wrong thing, a syntax highlighting implantation, which Hashicorp's vscode-hcl already provides.
They say they will highlight anything, but to get any intellisense, that is up to the language provider to make a schema available.
Could this extension instead provide a docker bake hcl schema?

@danegsta, as @mckelveygreg noted, it looks like the onus for docker domain specific support isn't on vscode-hcl:

@mckelveygreg, is there an official schema for bake files yet? I couldn't find an static schema file detentions in the buildx repo:
