F-String Converter Plus

Overview

The "F-String Converter Plus" extension for Visual Studio Code is a customizable tool designed to enhance your Python coding experience by automatically converting regular string literals into f-strings when they contain brackets. This ensures your code is more efficient and readable by leveraging Python's f-string formatting.

Features

• Automatic Conversion: Detects and converts string literals with placeholders into f-strings.
• Ignore Patterns: Customize which files should be ignored during the conversion process.
• Real-time Updates: Automatically updates strings as you type or modify your code.

Usage

Automatic Conversion

The extension automatically converts eligible string literals into f-strings as you type. It checks for placeholders within strings and adds or removes the f prefix as needed.

Configuration

You can configure the extension to ignore specific files or patterns by updating the settings:

• Open your VS Code settings.
• Search for f-string-converter-plus.ignorePatterns.
• Add file patterns to the list to exclude them from automatic conversion (e.g. "*route.py", "*/tests/config/*)

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• f-string-converter-plus.ignorePatterns: Define file patterns to ignore when converting f-strings (Default: []).
• f-string-converter-plus.supportSameTypeOfQuotes: Change the logic of converting f-strings to an experimental approach which allows the same type of quotes to be used inside of the f-string (like f"{""}" or f'{''}') (Default: false)

Known Issues

• The extension may not correctly identify strings within complex expressions or multiline strings. Ensure your strings are formatted correctly for best results.
