See Your AL Code Structure Instantly with AL Indent Prism

Question

Sharing something small that helped me during AL code reviews.

While reviewing some AL code before the holiday shutdown, I ran into deeply nested logic that was hard to follow. This is pretty common in Business Central projects, especially as extensions grow.

To make structure easier to see during reviews, I wrote a small VS Code extension called AL Indent Prism.

It adds subtle background colors to each indent level so you can visually follow nesting without changing your code.

• Works only on AL files
• Supports light and dark themes
• Does not modify code or formatting

I wrote a short post explaining why I built it and how it works here:

The extension is open source, so feedback, issues, or pull requests are very welcome.

Hopefully this helps other Business Central developers when dealing with deeply nested AL during reviews.
