DevForge

DevForge is a VS Code extension that generates project folder structures from a natural language command entered in a UI text area.

Features

• Adds a dedicated DevForge control panel in the Activity Bar.
• Opens a webview with a text area and a single "Generate Structure" action.
• Detects project type from command text.
• Creates folders and starter files for common stacks.
• Skips existing files/folders safely and reports what was created vs skipped.

Supported Commands

Examples you can type in the extension UI:

• create backend folder structure
• create react vite structure
• create fullstack app named inventory-suite
• create python api folder structure
• create java spring backend
• create go api structure

Supported stack detection:

• Node + Express backend
• React + Vite frontend
• Python API (FastAPI style scaffold)
• Java Spring Boot scaffold
• Go API scaffold
• Fullstack JS (Node backend + React Vite frontend)
• Generic project fallback

How To Use

1. Open a folder/workspace in VS Code.
2. Press F5 to launch the Extension Development Host.
3. Click the DevForge icon in the Activity Bar and open Control Panel.
4. Type your command in the text area.
5. Click Generate Structure.
6. Review generated folders/files in explorer and the summary output panel.

Alternative: Run command palette DevForge: Folder Generator to open the same UI in an editor tab.

Notes

• Files are created in the first opened workspace folder.
• Existing files are not overwritten.
• If command includes a target name (for example named my-app), DevForge creates inside that subfolder.
