🧭 Start using it

After install, open VS Code and load a project that uses HTMX or template files.

You can then:

• Type HTMX code and get hints
• Hover over parts of your code to see help
• Spot errors before they cause problems
• Insert common patterns with snippets

If you already have a site or app folder, open that folder in VS Code first.

✨ Main features

🔤 Smart autocomplete

The toolkit helps finish common HTMX attributes and patterns while you type. This can save time and reduce typing errors.

🪄 Hover docs

Move your mouse over HTMX parts and see short help text. This makes it easier to understand what each part does.

✅ Validation

The app checks your code for issues and points out common mistakes. That helps you fix problems sooner.

🧪 Diagnostics

You get clear feedback inside the editor. The toolkit can flag odd values, missing parts, and code that looks wrong.

🧩 Snippets

Snippets help you insert common code blocks with a few keystrokes. This is useful for forms, links, swap actions, and other HTMX patterns.

📄 Template support

The toolkit works with many template languages used in web projects, including:

• HTML
• JavaScript template files
• Server-side page templates
• Mixed markup files
• Other common view formats used in web apps

💻 System needs

Use this app on a Windows PC with:

• Windows 10 or newer
• Visual Studio Code installed
• Enough space to save the release file
• Internet access for the first download

A modern PC with at least 4 GB of memory should run VS Code well for most small and medium projects.

📂 Best way to set it up

1. Download the release file.
2. Open VS Code.
3. Open your web project folder.
4. Install or load the toolkit file.
5. Restart VS Code if needed.
6. Open an HTMX file and test the features.

If you work with more than one project, install it once and use it in each project folder.
