A VSCode extension that removes comments from your code with just one ☝🏼 click! Supports multiple languages including JavaScript, Python, CSS, TypeScript, Golang and HTML
Features
Removes Comments: One-click solution to remove all comments from your code.
Support Languages:
JavaScript and TypeScript: Removes // (single-line) and /* ... */ (multi-line) comments.
Python: ATM it only removes # (single-line) comments and will support """ ... """ and ''' ... ''' comments in the future.
Status Bar: You can remove your comments by clicking the button Remove Comments on the right side of your status bar.
Command: You can also remove comments by pressing ctrl + shift + p and search for remove comments
Formatting: We also provide code formatting after comment removal!
Future Features
1. Selective Comment Removal
Feature: Allows you the user to selectively remove one single-line or multi-line comments, rather than remove all comments from the file.
Why?: This feature would provide a lot more control over what gets removed, especially for those who want to keep specific comment types whilst removing others.
2. Support for Block Comments in Non-Supported Languages
Feature: Extend support for languages like Ruby and others that use different commenting styles (e.g., =begin ... =end) in Ruby
Why?: Adding support for more languages ensures that the extension works for broader set of languages, like Ruby for example which uses non-standard commenting patterns. Yes it may work for # comments in Ruby but for =begin ... =end it will not.
3. Pre-Removal Preview
Feature: Provides you the user with a preview of what the file will look like after the comments are removed before they actually apply the change just like preview markdown extensions before.
Why?: A preview step helps users confirm their changes and ensures no accidental loss of important information.
Known Issues
Multi-Line Comments In Python: Multi-Line comments in python (e.g., """ ... """, ''' ... ''') are not currently supported.
Performance on Large Files: While we've optimized for large files, performance could still degrade for a few moments or whilst removing comments in extremely large codebases.
