Code Editor

Syntax Highlighting

After opening an sCrypt file, you can see the highlighting effect of certain syntax elements. For example, keywords (such as loop require) use one color, and types (such as int and bytes) use another color.

Hover

When moving the mouse and hovering over a symbol, the relevant information of the symbol will be automatically displayed.

Autocomplete

When you enter the code on the editor, IDE will automatically prompt according to your input.

Function Signature Help

After entering the function name, IDE will automatically give relevant prompts about the function signature based on your input.

Errors and Warnings

When you are editing code, you may see wavy underlines in different colors: red indicate errors, and yellow warnings. You can quickly identify the problem according to the error message. The error messages of all files are gathered in the PROBLEMS panel. Once errors are fixed, error messages in the PROBLEMS panel will disappear.
