🎭 Stringifyer: The Escape Artist of VS Code

Because sometimes your code needs to wear a disguise

🎪 What is this sorcery?

Meet Stringifyer – the extension that takes your perfectly innocent text and wraps it in quotes faster than a used car salesman wraps promises in fine print.

Have you ever looked at a beautiful piece of text and thought, "You know what this needs? Backslashes. Lots and lots of backslashes"? Well, probably not, but that's exactly what this extension does anyway!

✨ Features (aka "What does this thing actually do?")

Instant String Transformation: Select any text and watch it magically become a proper string literal
Escape Character Mastery: Automatically escapes quotes, backslashes, and newlines like a professional escape room designer
Multi-Selection Support: Because why escape one thing at a time when you can escape everything at once?
Zero Configuration: Works right out of the box (unlike your last relationship)

Before Stringifyer

Hello World
This is a new line
And this has "quotes"

After Stringifyer

"Hello World\nThis is a new line\nAnd this has \"quotes\""

It's like magic, but with more backslashes!

🚀 How to Use

Select some text (any text, we don't judge)
Run the command Stringifyer: Stringify Selection
Watch in amazement as your text gets properly escaped and quoted
Feel the satisfaction of a job well done (or at least, a job done)

🎯 Perfect For

JavaScript Developers: Who need to quickly stringify template literals
JSON Enthusiasts: Because everything should be in quotes
People Who Love Backslashes: We see you, regex warriors
Anyone Who's Ever Copy-Pasted Text: And then spent 10 minutes manually escaping it

🤔 Why Stringifyer?

Because life's too short to manually escape your strings, and too long to do it wrong. This extension is for developers who believe that:

Time is precious (especially when debugging)
Automation beats repetition
Every string deserves proper escaping
Backslashes are beautiful (in the right context)
