The ultimate companion extension for the Pesto Roblox synchronization tool.
Pesto Explorer transforms your VS Code workspace into a powerful Roblox development environment. It provides a custom explorer view that mimics the Roblox Studio hierarchy, complete with icons, smart sorting, and integrated property editing.
✨ Features
1. 🌳 Roblox-Style Explorer
View your project structure exactly as it appears in Roblox Studio.
Official Icons: Uses standard Roblox Studio icons for all classes (Parts, Scripts, Services, GUIs, etc.).
Smart Sorting: Automatically organizes your hierarchy:
Services (Workspace, ReplicatedStorage, etc.) are pinned to the top.
Folders and containers come next.
Alphabetical sorting for everything else.
2. 🛠️ Integrated Properties Editor
Forget about editing raw __Properties__.yaml files manually.
Visual Editor: Select any instance in the Pesto Explorer to open the Properties panel in the sidebar.
Auto-Save: Changes are saved automatically as you type.
Type Support: Smart inputs for strings, numbers, booleans, and more.
3. ⚡ Live Visual Feedback
The explorer reacts to your changes in real-time.
Disabled State: If you set Enabled to false in the properties panel, the script's icon in the explorer will immediately turn gray and show a "Disabled" badge.
4. 📑 Smart Tabs
Stop getting lost in a sea of __Source__.luau tabs.
Instance Naming: When you open a script from the Pesto Explorer, the tab title shows the actual name of the script (e.g., PlayerController.luau) instead of the generic filename.
