Description

Hi team, is there any way we could have the powerfx syntax included as a coding language so that someone can create a new text file, set the coding language to powerfx and write powerapps canvas functions in vscode. Finding when creating very extensive and long functions powerapps canvas crashes so using vscode has been a life saver. But having better function / syntax recognition would be great thank you!

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the TypeScript VS Code extension's existing language-support configuration and related tests, then determine how Power FX syntax recognition would fit; done means a text file can select Power FX and recognize Power Apps canvas functions.
