Custom Require

Go to Definition support for custom require-like functions (e.g., myRequire).

VS Code's built-in "Go to Definition" (Ctrl+Click / Cmd+Click) doesn't work with custom wrapper functions that internally use require. This extension fills that gap.

Features

1. Navigate to file from string path

const Home = myRequire('./home.js');
// Ctrl+Click on './home.js' → opens home.js

2. Navigate to method/property definition

const Home = myRequire('./home.js');
Home.getValue();
// Ctrl+Click on getValue → goes to getValue definition in home.js

3. Navigate to destructured export

const { constante1, constante2 } = myRequire('./constantes.js');
// Ctrl+Click on constante1 → goes to where it's defined in constantes.js

console.log(constante1);
// Ctrl+Click also works on standalone references

Supported export patterns in target files

• module.exports = { key: value }
• module.exports = variable (follows variable to its object literal declaration)
• module.exports = class { method() {} }
• anyName.exports = value
• module.exports.key = value
• exports.key = value
• export function name() / export const name / export { name }

Configuration

In your VS Code settings.json:

{
  "customRequire.functionNames": ["myRequire"]
}

Add multiple function names if needed:

{
  "customRequire.functionNames": ["myRequire", "customLoad", "lazyRequire"]
}
