How can I add another programming language support

How can I add Rust or Flutter/Dart support if I want to add them

Hi @Killpit 👋🏻

Thanks for the question and wanting to add support for additional programming languages. While this is possible, we don't have any documentation or guides for how to do so. One of my colleagues has a repository with a minimal implementation needed to support a language at https://github.com/aibaars/codeql-kaleidoscope which may be a good starting point to look into to give you an idea of how you can create a custom extractor and how that can be used with the standard CodeQL CLI commands.

What about Flutter/Dart and how can I involve with the Rust support @intrigus-lgtm

One thing I'd like to here, how can we add language support project such as flutter create as an example, how can we start with all the possible tools on the repo

Hi @mbg, any chances you could get it running... I tried following the instructions but ended up with errors while running scripts/create-extractor-pack.sh

@icepacket you should probably open an issue on that repo, if you have a problem getting it to work. You'll also have to include more details about what errors you run into if you want someone to be able to help. That said, that repo is just an unofficial example of the sort of thing you may have to do and isn't an official piece of documentation or something we otherwise support.

@mbg I created a issue but haven't heard back yet. And, I am clueless about getting started with this. Do you have any suggestions which might help in adding support for a new programming language support? The final option for me is to read hundreds of files from existing supported languages.
