Open Module Folder

Open Module Folder is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to quickly reveal the folder of any npm module listed in your package.json file. Simply click on a module name in the dependencies, devDependencies, or peerDependencies section, and the corresponding folder in node_modules will be revealed in the Explorer panel — automatically expanded for easy access.


Features

  • Supports dependencies, devDependencies, and peerDependencies.
  • Automatically expands the folder in the Explorer so you can see its contents immediately.
  • Speeds up navigation and inspection of module source code.

Usage

  1. Open a package.json file in your project.
  2. Hover over a dependency name (e.g., "react": "^18.0.0").
  3. Click the module name.
  4. The folder will be revealed and expanded in the Explorer panel.
