vscode-annotations

Vscode-annotations is an extension for Visual Studio Code that will help you to add annotations in your Javascript projects for identifying:
. Code to refactor
. Code to fix
. To-do activities

Features

In order to add an annotation in your code you just need to add the following comments:

//refactor: here I need to refactor some code
//fixme: this is an annotation for fixing some code!
//todo: adding stuff to do

therefore you can add to your javascript code the following annotations:

//refactor:
//fixme:
//todo:

The annotation are recognised if are in a single line and written as above (e.g. //fixme: not // fixme:). This is the output that you will see inside the panel

In order to list all the annotations in a specific file or in all the files of the projects you will need to follow these instructions:

1. open your Javascript project or javascript file with Visual Studio Code
2. CMD + SHIFT + P will open the Command Palette (you can also open via the menu View > Command Palette)
3. search for ANNOTATION and choose the action you want to perform

At the moment you can perform the following things:

. retrieve annotations for a single javascript file
. retrieve annotations for the entire project
. export annotations to a markdown file

Requirements

Please install the annotations extension via the extensions panel in Visual Studio Code
