NoComment

A VS Code extension to remove comments from JavaScript and TypeScript files using AST parsing.

Features

• Removes both line comments (// ...) and block comments (/* ... */) from JS/TS files
• Preserves code structure and formatting
• Uses AST parsing for precise comment detection
• Works with JS, JSX, TS, and TSX files

2. Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS) to open the command palette
3. Search for and select NoComment: Remove Comments from Current File
4. All comments will be removed from your current file

How It Works

This extension uses the TypeScript ESTree parser to analyze your code's abstract syntax tree and accurately identify and remove comments, preserving the original code structure and functionality.
