Feature Cloner - VSCode Extension

Intelligently clone feature folder structures with automatic architecture detection and smart file filtering.

✨ Features

• 🔍 Auto-Detection: Automatically detects architecture patterns from existing code
• 🎯 Smart File Filtering: Only clones files that contain the feature name, skipping unrelated files
• 📁 Structure Preservation: Maintains folder hierarchy (even empty folders) for consistency
• 🔄 Intelligent Replacement: Updates class names, imports, and references with proper case handling
• 🌍 Universal Support: Works with any architecture (Flutter, React, Node.js, Android, etc.)
• ⚡ Quick & Easy: Simple right-click context menu integration
• 👁️ Interactive Preview: Review all changes before creating files

🚀 Quick Start

1. Right-click on any feature folder in the Explorer
2. Select "Clone Feature Structure"
3. Review the detected architecture (press Enter to continue)
4. Enter the new feature name
5. Review the files to be created (press Enter to confirm)
6. Done! Your new feature is ready

💡 How It Works

The extension intelligently handles your code:

1. Scans the selected folder structure
2. Detects the architecture pattern (Riverpod, MVC, MVVM, etc.) with confidence scoring
3. Filters files - only copies files containing the feature name
4. Preserves all folders for consistency (even if some become empty)
5. Replaces names in all case styles (PascalCase, camelCase, snake_case, kebab-case)
6. Updates file contents, imports, class names, and references automatically

Smart File Filtering

Only files with the feature name in their filename are cloned:

Example: Cloning user_auth to product_catalog

• ✅ UserAuthService.ts → ProductCatalogService.ts (copied & renamed)
• ✅ user_auth_model.dart → product_catalog_model.dart (copied & renamed)
• ❌ config.json (skipped - no feature name)
• ❌ index.ts (skipped - no feature name)

Folder structure is preserved, so you can add new files later!

🏗️ Supported Architectures

• Flutter Riverpod (data/domain/presentation/providers)
• MVC (models/views/controllers)
• MVVM (models/views/viewmodels)
• Clean Architecture (layered structure)
• Node.js/Express (MVC pattern)
• React Features (components/hooks/utils)
• Custom Patterns (automatically detected)

📋 Requirements

🎯 Example

Clone product_barcode to user_profile:

product_barcode/                  →  user_profile/
├── data/                         →  ├── data/
│   └── barcode_model.dart       →  │   └── profile_model.dart
├── controllers/                  →  ├── controllers/
│   └── barcode_controller.ts    →  │   └── profile_controller.ts
└── utils/                        →  └── utils/
    └── config.json              →      (empty - file skipped)

Content Changes:

• BarcodeModel → ProfileModel
