Summary

The HashiCorp team has released the first version of their Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension for Terraform, which includes support for the Terraform Language Server and syntax highlighting for Terraform 0.12. The Language Server provides code completion functionality for data source, resource, and attribute information, leveraging existing packages and features in a binary that can be reused by multiple editors. The extension is one of the most popular editor extensions for Terraform, with over 600,000 installs from the Visual Studio Marketplace. This release marks the beginning of HashiCorp's support for VS Code and editor integrations, with a dedicated team and roadmap focused on both the extension and language server.
