Path Sense

A fast, context-aware Visual Studio Code extension for intelligent path and folder autocompletion.

License: MIT

Features

  • Smart Path Autocompletion: Seamlessly suggests relative and root paths as you type.
  • Path Alias Resolution: Supports custom alias mappings (e.g., @/ or ~/).
  • Flexible Exclusion Filters: Exclude heavy or irrelevant directories like node_modules and .git from search results.

Extension Settings

Tailor Path Sense to your workflow using the following settings in your settings.json:

{
  "pathSense.enableAliases": true,
  "pathSense.aliasMappings": {
    "@": "./src/"
  },
  "pathSense.excludedFolders": ["node_modules", ".git", "dist"]
}

Configuration Options

Tailor Path Sense to your workflow using the following settings:

Setting Type Default Description
pathSense.enableAliases boolean true Enable or disable path alias resolution (e.g., mapping @ to src).
pathSense.aliasMappings object {'@': './src/'} Map custom alias prefixes to workspace paths.
pathSense.excludedFolders array ["node_modules", ".git", "dist"] List of folder names or patterns to exclude from completion suggestions.

Requirements

No external dependencies required. Works out of the box with standard VS Code workspace setups.

Roadmap

  • Mini Image Previews: Visual previews for image assets directly within the completion menu.

  • Autoload tsconfig.json / jsconfig.json: Automatic detection and mapping of paths defined in project configuration files.
