      This is the official VS Code extension for Rego and OPA. The
      extension brings a number of features that make writing Rego easier
      such as syntax highlighting, running of OPA tests as well as
      completions, linting and more from the
      [Regal Language Server](/integrations/regal/).

    note: |
      The extension provides support for debugging Rego policies using the
      native VS Code debugging interface. This is based on Regal's Debug
      Adapter, see the
      [VS Code documentation](/projects/regal/editor-support#visual-studio-code)
      to get started.
