Developer Tools

To enhance script development, CatScript provides built-in developer tools for efficient script writing.

VS Code Extension

We provide an extension for the VS Code editor. You can search for "CatScript" in the VS Code Extension Marketplace and install it. For more information, please visit https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=catscript.catscript.

Type Hints

If you are using an editor like VSCode on your computer to write scripts, you can install the catscript library via pip to help you with type hints for CatScript's built-in modules. This library does not have actual functionality; it is only used to provide type hints for script developers when writing scripts on the computer.

pip install catscript
