✨ Overview

myaz is a high-performance, modular productivity suite built directly into your VS Code sidebar. Engineered with React 18, TypeScript, and a clean, modern UI, myaz replaces a whole tab-full of web tools with eight offline modules:

No accounts, no config files, no telemetry — install it and it's ready to use in seconds.

🧭 Quick Start

Getting productive with myaz takes three steps:

1. Install — search myaz in the VS Code Extensions view, or run:

   ext install himanshuchuchra.myaz-extension
   

   Paste that into Quick Open (Cmd/Ctrl + P) to jump straight to the install prompt.

2. Open — click the myaz icon (the blue-violet "M") in your Activity Bar.

3. Pick a module — Snippets, Converters, Ports, Utilities, Random Data, Vim Guide, Git Cheat Sheet, or JSON Formatter — and start working. Everything is local; there's nothing to sign in to.

🔄 Universal File Converters

Never upload confidential company code, spreadsheets, or documents to third-party web converters again. Convert files locally on your machine with instant speed and zero tracking.

⚡ Conversion Capabilities Matrix

🛠️ Developer Power Tools

• ⚡ Multi-File Batch Queue: Drag & drop multiple files at once. Choose a global target (e.g. convert 10 PNGs to WebP in 1 click), monitor per-item progress, and Save All to Folder or Export as ZIP Archive.
• 🔄 In-Place File Replace: Optional toggle [x] Replace original file on disk automatically swaps the original asset on disk with the new format.
• 🎨 SVG Multi-Resolution Icon Suite: Render vector SVGs into a complete icon pack (16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 64×64, 128×128, 256×256, 512×512) packaged in a ready-to-use .zip.
• 📑 Markdown ➔ Interactive Slide Deck: Convert any Markdown file with --- slide dividers into a standalone, dark-themed HTML presentation deck with keyboard arrow navigation, slide counters, and native fullscreen (F).
• 📄 PDF ➔ Structured Markdown: Extract headings, page counts, and formatted body text from .pdf documents using our built-in offline stream engine.
• 📂 Explorer Context Menu: Right-click any file in your VS Code Explorer ➔ myaz: Convert File... to convert and save beside the original in one click.

⚡ Smart Snippet Manager

• Live Search & Filtering: Instant, real-time filtering across snippet titles, descriptions, code bodies, and tags.
• Auto Language Detection: Intelligently identifies your active editor's programming language and highlights matching snippets first.
• Rich Color Syntax Highlighting: Preview snippets with syntax highlighting tailored to TypeScript/TSX, JavaScript/JSX, Python, HTML/XML, CSS/SCSS, JSON/YAML, SQL, Bash, and Markdown.
• Interactive Tab-Stops: Full support for native VS Code snippet placeholders ($1, ${1:variableName}, $0) styled with subtle visual indicators.
• 1-Click Selection Capture: Highlight any code in your active editor ➔ right-click ➔ myaz: Save Selection as Snippet.
• Instant Cursor Insertion: Click Insert to inject code directly at your cursor position with tab-stop navigation between placeholders.
• Favorites & Pinning: Star your go-to snippets to keep them pinned at the top of your library.
• Tag System: Group snippets by stack or topic (#react, #frontend, #api, #sql, #docker).

🛑 Port Janitor

Never fight Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::3000 again. Clean up ghost dev servers and terminate blocked ports in 1 click without memorizing terminal commands.

• 📍 Monorepos & Microservices Aware: Recursively detects processes across nested workspace folders (apps/web, services/auth, packages/api) and attributes each one to its subfolder.
• 👻 Ghost Process Highlighting: Detects if a listening process was started inside your active workspace directory (cwd) and badges it with 📍 THIS WORKSPACE.
• ⚡ 1-Click Safe Termination: Kill a single process, or Kill All workspace ports at once — graceful SIGTERM → SIGKILL on Unix, taskkill on Windows.
• 🚀 Start on Port: Relaunch a dev server directly on a chosen port from the same panel.
• 🔍 On-Demand Port Inspector: Search bar to inspect and kill any specific port number (e.g. 3000, 8080) while filtering out unrelated system background processes.

🧰 Developer Utilities

Nine everyday tools that usually mean opening a new browser tab — now built in and fully offline:

🎲 Random Data Generator

Need realistic fake data for a demo, a seed script, or a UI mockup? Generate it locally — the only exception is the Image field, which loads a placeholder photo from picsum.photos.

• Search: a top search bar filters the individual generators list by name or description as it grows.
• Batch Generator: Pick any combination of fields — plus your own custom-named fields with a chosen data type — and generate many records at once, ready to copy or export.
• 20 Individual Generators: Email Address, Phone Number (country-aware formatting, with an optional country-code toggle), Full Name, Password, Street Address, Username, Company Name, Date (multiple formats), Job Title, IP Address, MAC Address, User Agent, Hex Color, Lorem Ipsum, Image, UUID, Credit Card Number, URL, Timestamp, Latitude/Longitude.
• Safe by Design: IPs use the RFC 5737 documentation range, MAC addresses are locally administered, credit card numbers are Luhn-valid test numbers (not real card data), and URLs/emails use the RFC 2606 reserved example.com/.org/.net domains — nothing resembles real-world identifiers.

⌨️ Vim Guide

A searchable, categorized cheat sheet for 128 Vim commands — so you can find the one you need without leaving VS Code.

• 13 Categories: Modes & Basics, Movement, Editing & Deleting, Copy/Paste & Registers, Undo/Redo & Repeat, Search & Replace, Visual Mode, Marks & Jumps, Windows & Splits, Buffers & Tabs, Macros, Indenting & Formatting, File & Save.
• Search & Filter: a top search bar plus per-category filter pills narrow the list instantly.
• Click to Copy: click any command row to copy its keystroke.

🌿 Git Cheat Sheet

The same searchable reference format, for 74 everyday git commands across 10 categories — staging, branching, merging & rebasing, remotes, undoing changes, stashing, tags, and more.

• Search & Filter: a top search bar plus per-category filter pills.
• Click to Copy: click any command row to copy it, including full flag combinations like git push --force-with-lease.

🧾 JSON Formatter

Format, validate, and explore JSON without leaving your editor or pasting it into a random website.

• Format / Minify: reformat pasted JSON with 2-space indentation, or collapse it to a single line.
• Validation with Position: invalid JSON shows a clear error message with the line and column where parsing failed.
• Collapsible Tree View: browse the parsed JSON as an expandable tree, with Expand All / Collapse All controls.
• Live Stats: key count, max depth, and size, updated as you type.

📦 Workspace Portability

• Single-File Export: Export your entire snippet library to a clean myaz-workspace.json file in one click.
• Flexible Import Modes:
  • Merge with Existing: Appends new snippets while preserving your current collection.
  • Replace All: Replaces your workspace with the imported pack.

🔒 100% Offline, Private & Local

• Zero Telemetry: All eight core modules — Snippets, Converters, Ports, Utilities, Random Data, Vim Guide, Git Cheat Sheet, and JSON Formatter — have zero tracking and send zero data to external servers.
• The two exceptions: the optional Feedback button on the Home screen ("Please provide me Feedback") loads a Google Form, and the Image field in Random Data loads a placeholder photo from picsum.photos. Both only make a network request when you actively use that specific feature — nothing runs automatically or in the background, and no data is sent to those services.
• Local Storage: All snippets are stored locally on your machine in human-readable JSON:

💡 Pro Tip: Any manual edits you save directly to workspace.json in VS Code are instantly reloaded by the extension!

⌨️ Command Palette Shortcuts

Press Cmd + Shift + P (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + P (Windows/Linux) to access commands:

🛠️ Technology Stack

• Extension Host: TypeScript + Node.js (VS Code Extension API)
• Webview Architecture: React 18 + TypeScript + Lucide Icons
• Document Engines: mammoth (Word), jspdf (PDF generation), marked (Markdown), xlsx (SheetJS), js-yaml, fast-xml-parser, jszip
