String Peeker README

Welcome to String Peeker, a Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to preview long string values in TypeScript files through a convenient tooltip. This extension is perfect for developers working with large string literals and looking for an easy way to preview their content without opening a separate editor or splitting the screen.

Features

Hover Preview for Long Strings: Automatically displays a tooltip with the full content of long string literals when you hover over them in TypeScript files.
Customizable Threshold: Only shows the tooltip for strings exceeding 50 characters (default value).
Simple and Lightweight: Focused specifically on enhancing string handling in TypeScript development.

Tip: Use this extension to quickly understand the contents of long strings in your code, reducing the need for manual scrolling or copying.

Requirements

This extension has no external dependencies. However, it works specifically with TypeScript files (.ts), so make sure your project includes TypeScript files to use this feature.

Extension Settings

Currently, String Peeker does not add any configurable settings. However, future updates may include options such as:

Threshold Length: Configure the minimum string length for which the tooltip is shown.
Supported File Types: Extend functionality to JavaScript or other file types.

Known Issues

There are no known issues at the moment. If you encounter any problems, please report them in the GitHub issues section.
