VSC Links

@samuel_braun Congratulations on the launch! Wishing you a journey full of achievements and success. What’s one piece of advice you’d give to other creators?

@kjosephabraham Thank you! For the advice: Gather a lot feedback and dont be afraid to pivot away from your original idea.

@kyrylosilin 1. Install the cli by copying the command "npm i -D vscode-links-cli@latest" 2. Create the config file with a command (Ctrl+Shift+P: "VSCode Links: Create Config"). (Everything is documented in JSDoc) 3. Then adjust what you need In simple cases just adjust the regex and your link, in more complex cases you can program the logic with how you want the link to behave based on what was clicked and for example jump to a file and line of a specific function.

@samuel_braun thank you! Do you have an X account? I would love to give a shout out.

@kyrylosilin Im currently not using my account much but am planning to start of next year (still in uni and have limited time). But here it is: https://x.com/web_dev_sam

@samuel_braun Ok, thanks! I wanted to quote and repost your launch post but there's nothing to repost, unfortunately 😆

@naomigarcia Currently the extension itself doesnt do much other than registering relevant commands. When it comes to the links themselves they use regex which is pretty fast compared to other methods of finding substrings. I focused on minimizing dependencies and code and overall its a small extension so performance shouldn't be an issue in big projects. I'm currently testing it in a pretty large application (complex erp system), and will update if I find performance issues. But of course they would naturally occur in very huge files and only for the links (they would just appear a bit later which makes sense).

@samuel_braun Awesome!! Keep up the great work!

@hunter_brooks That's a great idea, I'll add that to my feature list.
