Web Assembly Text Improved!

WATI provides code completion, intellisense, and hover information
for the WebAssembly Text Format (.wat files).

Features

Quality of Life

• Auto completion and type information for variables and functions
• Auto completion for most instructions
• Docs and type information on hover
• See type information on a function when calling it (signatures)
• Magical emmet-like completions:
  • Easily create constants: 5i32 -> (i32.const 5), 30.12f64 -> (f64.const 30.12), 100_000i64 -> (i64.const 100000)
  • Access local and global variables easily, with autocompletion: l$someLocal -> (local.get $someLocal), g$someGlobal -> (global.get $someGlobal)
  • Set local and global variables with autocompletion: l=$someLocal -> (local.set $someLocal |), g=$someGlobal -> (global.set $someGlobal |)

Documentation

• JSDoc Tags
• Rich color for @param tags
• Rich color for function-related tags (e.g. @function)
• Highlighting of @todo

Extension Settings

• wati.useIntellisenseInWatFiles: If true, WATI intellisense (hover, completion, signatures) will be used in WAT files. (Defaults to true)

Note This extension also adds support for the .wati language. The .wati language is deprecated and is not recommended for use.

1.0.2

Fix issues regarding hover and signature information with newlines in function definitions

1.0.1

Requirements

No other extensions are required, though for the WAT intellisense you will need to have the WebAssembly extension.
