That TypeScript Extension

Make TypeScript safer by automatically deleting unsafe any patterns and giving instant audio feedback.

What it does

• Detects and deletes: as any, : any, :any in .ts/.tsx files
• Plays a short sound on each deletion (Windows-friendly background playback with fallbacks)
• Adds an Enable/Disable toggle in the status bar

Commands

• ts-first.testSound: Play the boom sound
• ts-first.testSystemAudio: Play a system beep (diagnostics)
• ts-first.testBackgroundAudio: Test background audio playback
• ts-first.enableExtension / ts-first.disableExtension: Toggle behavior

Requirements

• boom.mp3 is included with the extension
• Windows: PowerShell is used for reliable background playback
• macOS/Linux: a CLI player like afplay, mpg123, or aplay helps; fallbacks exist

Usage

Open a TypeScript file and type or paste code. When as any or : any/:any is detected, the extension removes it and plays a confirmation sound. Use the status bar item or commands to toggle or test audio.
