This TextMate bundle contains a language grammar and settings for editing Simple Domain Modeling Language (SDML) files.
A Github workflow attaches a downloadable .tmbundle zip file to each release.
- Syntax highlighting based on a tmlanguage grammar.
- Declarations added to the window's Symbol List.
- Declaration and Annotation snippets.
- (Experimental) command-line integration for diagram generation.
TextMate, and most editors that support TextMate bundles, allow the installation of bundles simply by extracting an archive or cloning the repository into the application's bundle directory. This bundle is no different.
For TextMate, the easiest approach is the install shell script shown below. This will create a new folder in TextMate's bundle folder and clone the Github repository locally.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdm-lang/SDML.tmbundle/main/install.sh | shAlternatively, you can download a release zip file from Github and unzip on the TextMate bundle directory.
JetBrains tools such as IntelliJ IDEA have instructions https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/textmate.html.
The SDML bundle menu allows for the insertion of various language declarations, many of them with tab shortcuts. For example dt followed by the tab key will expand to a datatype declaration.
Similarly a number of useful annotations can be inserted.
Finally, note that the symbol list (bottom of the editor window) shows the structure of the module with types, members and variants.
