A powerful VS Code extension that provides an Unreal Engine-style DataTable editor for TypeScript. Create and manage DataTables with a visual editor similar to Unreal Engine 5.

Features

• Visual DataTable Editor: Create and edit DataTables with an intuitive UI
• Structure Management: Define and modify your data structures (interfaces) on the fly
• Row Management: Add, edit, duplicate, and delete rows easily
• Search & Navigation: Powerful search functionality with navigation (Enter/Shift+Enter)
• Array Support: Edit string[] and number[] fields with add/remove controls
• Auto ID Generation: Configure automatic ID generation (number or UUID-like string)
• Inline Editing: Double-click cells to edit values directly
• Resizable Editor: Customize the row editor panel size
• TypeScript Integration: Generates proper TypeScript files with interfaces

Usage

1. Create a DataTable:

   • Open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)
   • Run "DataTable: Create New Data Table"
   • Follow the wizard to set up your structure

2. Edit DataTable:

   • Open any .dt.ts file
   • Use the visual editor to manage rows and structure
   • Right-click on .dt.ts files in Explorer for quick access

3. Structure Editor:

   • Switch to "Data Table Details" tab
   • Add, remove, or modify properties
   • Configure ID field settings

File Format

DataTables are saved as TypeScript files with the .dt.ts extension:

// @datatable-{"hasIdField":true,"idFieldName":"id","idType":"number","idInitialValue":1}
interface ItemData {
    id: number;
    itemName: string;
    price: number;
    isStackable: boolean;
}

export const Items = [
    {
        id: 1,
        itemName: "Sword",
        price: 100,
        isStackable: false
    }
] as ItemData[];
