vscode-geass

A high level abstraction layer for help in file-editing and scripting workflows in vscode.

I made this package because many software APIs (mostly game engines) are macro heavy and default code-completion tools are not adequate. This results in much of dev-time wasted writing boilerplate code. This package is used to develop the following projects. Feel free to integrate to your own projects.

Sleeping Forest

The API is provided as a set of self-explanatorily named modules. The goal is to parse lines in editor to contextually

• Make changes to files like (.cpp/.h) pairs
• Auto-fill boiletplate code
• Create directories

vscfg

Config module.

Contains functions for reading and updating configurations easily.
