Linker

Linker helps keep imports in sync when files or folders are renamed/moved. It scans your project for import statements referencing the old path, shows a preview, and applies edits when you confirm.

🚀 Installation

Install from the VS Code Marketplace

Or search for "Linker" in VS Code Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X)

Usage

1. Install the extension (or run it in dev mode).
2. Rename or move a file in the Explorer.
3. Linker detects the change and opens a Preview panel listing proposed updates.
4. Click Apply to perform the edits.

Settings

• linker.exclude — glob patterns to exclude (default: ['**/node_modules/**', '**/.git/**'])
• linker.fileExtensions — file extensions to scan (default: ['js','ts','jsx','tsx'])

Limitations

• Heuristic-based import detection; may miss uncommon import styles.
• No git mv integration yet.
• Focused on JS/TS/React Native in v1.

Development

1. Clone the project
2. Run npm install
3. Run npm run build
4. Press F5 to launch the Extension Development Host
5. Test by renaming files in a JS/TS project
