This PR refactors the autoIndent.ts file to make the code cleaner, more concise, and easier to understand while preserving all existing functionality.

Key Improvements

1. Added consistent typing

  • Introduced IndentationResult interface to standardize return types across indentation functions
  • Improves type safety and code clarity

2. Extracted common validation logic

  • validateAutoIndentPrerequisites() - eliminates duplicate validation code (used in 6 places)
  • createIndentationResult() - ensures consistent result objects (used in 13 places)

3. Broke down complex functions into focused helpers

Before:

  • getInheritIndentForLine(): ~142 lines of complex nested logic
  • getIndentActionForType(): ~74 lines with multiple responsibilities

After:

  • getInheritIndentForLine(): 47 lines, clean and focused
  • getIndentActionForType(): 46 lines, clear logic flow
  • 9 specialized helper functions with single responsibilities:
    • getIndentationForFirstNonBlankLine()
    • processIndentationFromPrecedingLine()
    • handleComplexIndentationCase()
    • searchForNonTemporaryIndent()
    • shouldTriggerDecreaseIndentation()
    • getDecreaseIndentation()
    • shouldIndentForAutoClosingPair()

4. Enhanced readability and maintainability

  • More descriptive variable names following VS Code guidelines
  • Clear JSDoc comments for all helper functions
  • Consistent code patterns throughout
  • Better separation of concerns

Code Quality Metrics

  • Function complexity: Significantly reduced for main functions
  • Code reuse: Helper functions eliminate duplication
  • Maintainability: Each function has a single, clear responsibility
  • Readability: Improved through better organization and documentation

Backward Compatibility

No breaking changes

  • All exported function signatures remain unchanged
  • All functionality preserved and tested
  • Public API unchanged

The refactored code is now much easier to understand, maintain, and extend while following VS Code's coding guidelines.

Fixes #252333.
