rust-mod-creator

This extension makes it easy to create and update Rust modules and submodules.

1. In the file explorer, right-click in the directory you want to create your new module or submodule.
2. Click "Create New Module".
3. Enter the name of your new Module.
   • Adding a trailing . or .rs will create a new submodule file.
   • Adding a trailing / or no trailing symbol will create a new module directory with a new inner mod.rs file.
4. Select the access modifier for your new Module.
5. New module is now created and added to the top of existing mod.rs.
   • If there is no existing mod.rs file, it will try to add mod line to lib.rs then will try main.rs.
     • If it still cannot find a file, it will create a new mod.rs and append to that.
