Namesense
Naming is hard. Namesense makes it easy.
What is it?
Namesense is a lightweight VS Code extension that generates smart, ready‑to‑use names based on your file name.
It turns file names like user-profile.ts into PascalCase suggestions like UserProfile – perfect for React components, classes, or types.
Save time, stay consistent, and reduce typos with automatic, file‑based naming suggestions.
Highlights

- 🧠 Converts file names to PascalCase (e.g.,
empty_state.jsx → EmptyState).
- 🎯 Works with saved files; ignores untitled editors.
- 🛠️ Simple: toggle with the command palette and pick your trigger characters.
- 🧩 Lightweight: everything runs locally.
