Features

Users can find unused Entitas components, which will be printed in a file "Unused_Components.txt" with just one shortcut.

It works like this: Let's say you have a PositionComponent.

You also have in your code a GameEntity that if is used, has AddPosition. If it doesn't uses any method like AddPosition, SetPosition etc. It's being unused. In order to find all the unused components in your project it requires additional time to go through all of them. With the extension just with a shortcut you can find all unused components and have them printed in a txt file, in your root folder. The Extension also takes into a count your "files.exclude" in settings.json.

This is how you use it:

1. CTRL + F7
2. Open the file to see the components

Dev notes

Extension contains simple err handling for common issue which might occure if your settings.json which is needed for files.excluded. Are in different folder than .vscode.

It will display information about this specific issue, if thats the case.
