Feature request: support inline CodeLens references

[tomgilder]

Hello! I would love Dart Code to support inline CodeLens references, as it supports for C# and TypeScript:

Here's how it's implemented for TypeScript: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/master/extensions/typescript-language-features/src/features/referencesCodeLens.ts

Thank you for all the great work so far 😀

We might need server support to get them for a whole file in one go. Otherwise we'd have to send repeated requests for references (and use some other data, like Outline?) to know where to send them for.

When will this be released? This is really very important, it will help us navigate the code quickly.

There's no timeline for releasing this as it has not been developed yet. It would require some additional work in the analysis server first. In the meantime, you can use Go-to-Definition and Find References (both of which have shortcut keys) on the symbol directly.

I understand. Thank you, keep up the good work! :) hopefully you will have time to develop this soon.

Hey @DanTup,

It would be wonderful if you can give dev option to change reference text position.
Please refer this to understand what I mean.
I hope it is possible.

Thanks

@rohitvishwakarma1819 thanks for the suggestion! CodeLens rendering is all handled by VS Code and not the extension so this would need support from VS Code. There's an open issue about it at microsoft/vscode#90235 you can 👍 !

Is there any news about feature? 2024 is coming, so...

I've opened a feature request in VSCode to automatically implement this:
