A Microsoft Visual Studio Code extension that enhances your coding workflow by displaying the number of selected lines in the status bar and detecting functions that exceed 30 lines of code. It also identifies formatting errors, such as unclosed or unmatched braces, ensuring your code remains clean and within stylistic guidelines.
This extension was developed to comply with the Tufts University CS Department's stylistic policy of writing functions no longer than 30 lines.
The under-30 extension provides a number of different features to improve efficiency when evaluating the functional formatting of your program.
- Real-Time Updates: The number of selected lines is dynamically displayed in the status bar whenever text is selected, regardless of the coding language or document type.
- Accurate Function Detection: Functions are identified by their opening curly brace ("{") at the start and their closing curly brace ("}") at the end. Nested curly braces within the function do not interfere with this automatic detection process.
- Lightweight and Efficient: Designed to have minimal impact on the performance of VS Code, ensuring a smooth and responsive coding experience.
-
Select a range of lines in the editor to see the number of selected lines displayed in the status bar item at the lower right corner.
-
The extension can scan all functions in the current active editor and raise warnings if any function exceeds 30 lines.
-
Click the status bar item in the lower right corner to initiate the scan after selecting a range of lines.
-
If no functions exceed 30 lines, a success message will be displayed.
-
Alternatively, run the command "Check Function Length of All Functions in This File" from the Command Palette to perform the scan.
-
Success or warning notifications will be displayed in the lower right corner and in the Notifications window. If functions exceed the 30-line limit, the warning includes the start and end line numbers of each offending function to pinpoint the issue(s).
-
The extension checks for uneven braces, alerting the user to any unclosed or extra braces, which would prevent the function length check from completing.
