And let Intuita generate recommendations to rearrange code blocks in the affected files.
The default is to place imports first, followed by types, interfaces, functions, classes & variables at the bottom of a file.
Accept/reject Intuita’s recommendations.
Recommendations are accessible via the Explorer sidebar or Intuita’s dedicated section in the left panel.
You can tweak the recommended fix, if needed, before accepting.
Why Is It Important?
Big Files (>300LOC) → Big Problems:
Code Comprehension
Big messy error-prone files slow you down. Organizing legacy code is hard. Keeping a growing codebase organized is even harder.
You cannot effortlessly skim from top to bottom & make sense of large & disorganized files. You need to jump through the code up & down multiple times & memorize what happens at each step.
Code Review
Code review becomes harder for unorganized files & the back & forth between reviewer & original author for simple changes like code arrangement waste a lot of time.
Code Refactoring
It is hard to underst& when & how to refactor a large file into smaller, more maintainable pieces, especially when the code blocks are scattered.

Can I Ask For More?
YES! First, some context about us:
We are a bunch of nerds passionate about automating the boring parts of coding, one use case at a time.
We believe code automation enables us to be drastically more productive. Besides that, automation reduces friction for coding & empowers many more people to become coders, so together, we keep up with the increasing demand for technology.
At Intuita, we started with the simple task of code organization & we have more impactful use cases in our roadmap. You could have a say in the next automation we build!
