String Finder for Brackets

Find all string literals in your JS code, across your whole project - helpful for localization or for catching coding style problems (using strings where you should use constants).

String Finder ignores the following:

• The empty string
• String literals in require("...")
• String literals in Object.defineProperty(..., "...", ...
• String literals in new Error(...)
• String literals in console.log(...) and warn/error/assert
• "use strict" alone on a line

To use String Finder, just choose Find > Find All String Literals.

How to Install

String Finder is an extension for Brackets, an open-source code editor for web developers.

To install extensions:

1. Choose File > Extension Manager and select the Available tab
2. Search for this extension
3. Click Install!

Preferences

The list of files/folders you excluded is saved as a preference - by default, Brackets-global. To save project-specific exclusions:

1. Create a .brackets.json file in the root of your project, if you do not already have one
2. Add "pflynn.string-finder.exclusions": [] to the JSON object
3. Now, whenever you have this project open String Finder will use the project-specific preference. If you have a different project open (that does not have a project-specific preference set), it will continue to use the Brackets-global preference instead.
