C++ Classes Creator

This simple extension allows you to create classes or structures in a better way.

Features

• Hotkeys
  • Shift + Alt + C to create new class while text editor is focused
• Parse namespace, class/structure name, template and parent class/structure.
  So this input

   class Library::Containers::MyContainer<T, U> : Container, IDisposable

  will be expanded to

   #pragma once
  
   namespace Library::Containers
   {
   	template <class T, class U>
   	class MyContainer : public Container, public IDisposable
   	{
   		public:
   			MyContainer() = default;
  
   			~MyContainer() = default;
   	};
   }

• Automatic detection of include and source folders by its names.
• Create files in different folders, like include and source.
• Create files in existing namespace folders.
• Create folder that matches namespace.
• Create folder that matches class.
• Writing #pragma once or/and #ifndef guarders

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

Name	Type	Default	Description
C_Cpp.classesCreator.folder.nameCase	enum	kebab-case	Which case will be applied to folders.
C_Cpp.classesCreator.folder.defaultHeaderFolders	string[]	inc, include	List of header folder names to check in the root folder.
C_Cpp.classesCreator.folder.defaultSourceFolders	string[]	src, source	List of source folder names to check in the root folder.
C_Cpp.classesCreator.folder.detectFolders	boolean	true	Enable detection of header and source folders based on defaultHeaderFolders and defaultSourceFolders lists.
C_Cpp.classesCreator.folder.caseSensetiveDetection	boolean	true	Make detection of header and source folders case-sensetive.
C_Cpp.classesCreator.folder.splitByFolders	boolean	true	Create header file in detected header folder and source file in detected source folder. If one or both don't exist, the context folder will be used.
C_Cpp.classesCreator.folder.createClassFolder	boolean	false	Create folder for the class. If splitByFolders is true, same folders will be created in header and source folders.
C_Cpp.classesCreator.folder.createNamespaceFolder	boolean	true	Create folder for the namespace. If splitByFolders is true, same folders will be created in header and source folders.
C_Cpp.classesCreator.file.nameCase	enum	kebab-case	Which case will be applied to files.
C_Cpp.classesCreator.file.useCppHeader	boolean	true	Use .hpp instead of .h.
C_Cpp.classesCreator.file.useCxxSource	boolean	false	Use .cxx instead of .cpp.
C_Cpp.classesCreator.header.usePragma	boolean	true	Use #pragma once.
C_Cpp.classesCreator.header.useDefine	boolean	false	Use #ifndef.
