Extension to Identify Duplicate Code

This extension is designed to identify duplicate object definitions within your codebase. It scans your project for redundant:

• Method bodies
• File contents
• Interface declarations
• Enum structures
• CSS class definitions

Features

1. Tree View Listing

Organizes and displays duplicate items in a categorized tree view:

• Identical CSS rules
• Duplicate interface definitions
• Repeated enum structures
• Similar method bodies

2. File Navigation

• Click on an item in the tree view to open the corresponding file.
• Automatically positions the cursor at the duplicate definition.

3. Manual Refresh

• Use the refresh button located at the top of the tree view to re-scan your project after making changes.

4. Automatic Exclusion

• Automatically ignores files in:
  • The node_modules directory.
  • Any directory prefixed with a dot (.), such as .git.

5. Set Root Directory

• Configure the root directory for analysis through the settings menu.

6. Directory Exclusion

• Specify additional directories to exclude from the analysis using the extension settings.

7. Duplicate Detection by Type

• CSS Rules: Detects duplicate styles across .css, .scss, and .less files.
• Enums: Identifies duplicate enums within .ts and .tsx files.
• Interfaces: Flags repeated interface definitions in .ts and .tsx files.
• Methods: Groups duplicate methods found in .js, .jsx, .ts, and .tsx files (excluding lifecycle methods).
