python-embedded-shader

Adds syntax highlight support for shaders in python multiline strings in VS Code.

Features

Supported shader languages

• wgsl
• glsl
• hlsl
• metal

Snippets

Provides snippets to create an embedded shader string, so you don't have to remember the syntax.

Jinja templating

Jinja templates are syntax-highlighted. The tokens are rendered as keywords, and the content as string (shaders don't have/use string).

Unfortunately, this does not work for shaders embedded in Python strings. If you know how to fix that I'd love to learn.

Example

for i in range(10):
    print(i)

shader = """//wgsl
    fn produceResult(vec2<f32> foo, f32 bar) -> vec2<f32> {
        return foo * bar;
    }
"""

Notes

• You need to install syntax highlighting support for the shader languages separately.
• This only provides syntax highlighting, no autocompletion or linting of your shaders.
