TypescriptLens

Track TypeScript progress and recommend files for refactoring!

TypescriptLens is a Visual Studio Code extension designed to help you monitor your workspace's progress in transitioning to TypeScript and identify the most frequently changed JavaScript files that might benefit from refactoring.

Features

1. TypeScript Progress

Displays the percentage of TypeScript files in your project compared to JavaScript files. Provides a quick way to track your progress in adopting TypeScript.

2. Most Changed Files

Lists the JavaScript files that are most frequently updated, based on Git history. Suggests files that might benefit from being refactored to TypeScript.

3. Quick Navigation

Click on any file in the list to open it directly in the editor for review and refactoring.

4. Activity Bar Integration

The extension is accessible via the Activity Bar, with an intuitive icon and collapsible sections for a cleaner UI.

Installation

1. Install the extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
2. Ensure Git is installed and accessible via your system's PATH.

How to Use

1. Open a workspace with JavaScript/TypeScript files.

2. Go to the TypescriptLens section in the Activity Bar.

3. View:

   • TypeScript Progress: The percentage of TypeScript files.
   • Most Changed Files: A list of JavaScript files sorted by change frequency.

4. Alternatively, use the Command Palette to view the TypeScript Progress: Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux, Cmd+Shift+P on macOS). Run the command: TypeScript precentage.

Requirements

• Git: The extension uses Git logs to identify the most changed files.
• Node.js: Required for building and running the extension.

Extension Settings

This extension does not currently add any custom settings. Future updates may include configurable options like:

• Ignored files or directories.
• Customizable sorting for the most changed files.

Known Issues

• The extension may not function correctly in projects without Git initialization.
• Files outside the workspace folder are not included in the analysis.
