This repository is ready to code in VSCode with ObjectScript plugin.
Install VSCode, Docker and ObjectScript plugins and open the folder in VSCode.

Right-click on docker-compose.yml file and click Compose Restart

Once docker will finish starting procedure and show:

Creating objectscript-contest-template_iris_1 ... done

Click on the ObjectScript status bar and select Refresh connection in the menu.
Wait for VSCode to make connection and show something like “localhost:32778[IRISAPP] - Connected”

You can start coding after that. Open ObjectScript.cls in VSCode, make changes and save - the class will be compiled by IRIS on ‘Save’.

Happy coding!
