related-files

This package provides support for working with related file annotations. The annotations are described in more detail at https://github.com/synchronal/related-files.

The package currently supports scanning for annotations in the current file, and navigating between them. It also stores the annotations on a project level, so if related-files.el is marked as related to related-files-test.el, then an automatic relation is stored for the link the other way.

Annotations

An annotation starts with @related, followed by one or more Markdown-style links consisting of an arbitrary name (e.g., “test”, “css”, “header”) and a path to the file:

@related [name](path)

The path is either relative to the current file (if it starts with a “.”), or to the project root otherwise. The annotation ends with a newline character.

Examples

The following are all valid annotations.

A very simple annotation, marking that the file is related to tests:

;; @related [test](/related-files-test.el)

Annotation lines can contain several related files:

// See @related [test](/src/related.test.js), [test](/src/other.test.js), and [css](/assets/style.css)

This generates three relations, to the three mentioned files.

And can span multiple lines using backslashes:

# @related \
# [test](/test/core/foo_test.exs) \
# [test](/test/integration/bar_test.exs) \
# [sass](/assets/css/foo.sass)
