Can Visual Studio Code use Emmet completion in racor.cshtml files

Question

I am using Visual Studio Code (1.17.1, on MacOS 10.13 and Windows 10), developing an asp.net core mvc web application using razor patterns. Visual Studio Code supports Emmet ( https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/emmet )

My problem is that Emmet works correctly in HTML files but does not work in razor CSHTML files.

I found:

To enable the Emmet extension in file types where it is not available by default, use the emmet.includeLanguages ​​parameter. Be sure to use language identifiers for both sides of the display. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/emmet

but does not indicate where to find the list of "language identifiers". I tried to find it, but you can imagine what happens when you look for a programming language identifier!

Is there a way to tell Emmet in VS Code to handle cshtml files as html files? Is there any other way to make this work (besides renaming files, which is another solution)?

Answer 1

According to this link , the corresponding language for * .cshtml files is a razor, so you need to specify it in the emmet display as follows:

"emmet.includeLanguages": { "razor": "html" }
