Renamer

This extension allows you to rename a file when you change the most important symbols and save it.

For example: you change a class name.
After you hit save, you realize that the file name doesn't match the contained class.
You should rename the file but how ?
Two options:

1. open the Explorer sidebar, locate the file(manually or with the command Reveal in Side Bar)
2. Use the [FileUtils](https://github.com/VolcanicBytes/Renamer/blob/master/ https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sleistner.vscode-fileutils) fileutils.renameFile command

This extension introduces two new options:

1. Renamer: Rename current file command
   1. which varies from the FileUtils one, because it displays a bunch of names in different case, plus allow the extension to be changed manually
2. But more remarkable: it automatically shows a picker for a new filename when it detects a change in a main symbol after a save

Options

You can add custom regex with the renamer.regexList setting to trigger the prompt, for language without highlights provider, for example:

{
    "languageId": "csharp",
    "regex": [
        "class\\s*([^{]+)\\s*{",
        "interface\\s*([^{]+)\\s*{"
    ],
    "captureGroup": [
        1,
        1
    ]
} 

captureGroup are default to 1.

Known issues

• It only works with languages that provide document Highlights or listed in renamer.regexList and that are not in the ignoredLanguageIdList
• It tries to detect changes based on the position of the main symbols
• In order for this extension to automatically prompt for new file names, symbol provider should be installed.
  • Javascript and Typescript work out of the box
