Introduction to Salesforce Custom Label Generator (SFDC-CLG)
Quick VSCode plugin to quickly create new Custom Labels from within the VSCode text editor, which adds the new label to your CustomLabels.labels-meta.xml using your selected text as the label value and prompting you for a label name. An optional feature will also allow you to replace your selected text with the label automatically.
Features
Command: Generate Label From Selected Text
Uses your selected text as the value of your new custom label, defaults label fields to values found in config, and based on config, will prompt for Label/ShortDescription/Language/Category, it will then update your CustomLabels.labels-meta.xml metadata with the new label, and dependant on whether the config flag is enabled, replaces your selected text with the new label
This command is also added to the context menu for Javascript and Apex languages to make generating a label simpler
Usage
This extension relies on there being selected text in your current active editor, and can be activated either through the context menu selecting the "Generate label from selected text", or running the SFDX-CLG: Generate Label From Selected Text in the command pallette.
Once a label is added to your metadata, you'll have to manually deploy the file to your Salesforce instance before being able to access it in other bits of metadata.
