In my spare time I've also created a google chrome extension bringing lots of extra features to the formula editor in the new modelling experience, such as syntax validation & highlighting, code completion (line items/modules/function names etc), function and line item hover information, semantic validation (checking for missing LOOKUPs etc) and basic formatting. See my post about it here.

So nice to meet you @GeorgeDuckett .

It's incredible to learn about the plugin you created. Have you created extensions before, or did you learn how to create one because you're passionate about helping others? 😉

Hi Beauram,

Thanks! Glad you like the plugin. I'd never created a Chrome extension before; I thought it might be a fun challenge to learn a new language (TypeScript) and create the extension.

I started it before the new modelling experience was announced (publicly at least) because although the A+ for Anaplan extension did provide some useful enhancements being a coder I was used to a very rich editing experience. Initially I got the Monaco editor within the old modelling experience so that I could easily add to its built-in functionality to provide the enhancements I described. When the new experience one was released I stopped working on replacing the existing editor and moved to enhancing the new editor. Given that Anaplan code now creates the editor with my extension adding to it there are a few restrictions on what enhancements I can do (collapsible IF..THEN...ELSE blocks for example), but most things carried over fine.

It's already proved very useful for my work and hope it can help others too!

Beauram

That is VERY cool!! Thank you so much for sharing. Excited to see what else we'll be learning from you soon!
