IFC Syntax VSCode Extension

⚠️ This repo has been deprecated in favour of the new monorepo I created with all my IFC related code. You can check it out at:

IFC Developer Tools

It includes:

• ifc and express parsers
• The IFC Syntax VSCode Extension code
• The IFC Language Server
• An IFC to Typescript code generator
• An IFC documentation extraction tool

See you there!!

  • IFC: Only HEADER and DATA sections can be folded.
  • EXPRESS:
    • TYPE, ENTITY, FUNCTION, RULE folding.
