🌟 Equilix - VS Code Extension

Your JavaScript Code Fixer Extension.

✨ Features

Equilix extension provides the following features:

Convert var to const

• Automatically converts var variable declarations to const where applicable, promoting the use of immutable variables and preventing unintentional reassignments.

Convert == to === and != to !==

• Automatically converts loose equality (== and !=) to strict equality (=== and !==) to avoid type coercion issues and ensure more predictable comparison behavior.

Transform for Loops to forEach or map

• Identifies various for loop formats and offers the option to convert them to more concise and expressive forEach or map methods, making your code cleaner and easier to read.

Detect Unused Variables

• Equilix analyzes your code and detects unused variables within a single file's scope. It can then highlight or remove those unused variables, helping you maintain a more organized and optimized codebase.

Feedback

• Real-time feedback with an on-save popup notification indicating the successful conversion.

Eliminates Manual ESLint Setup:

• With Equilix, there's no need to manually run ESLint with the --fix flag modify package.json scripts. Equilix seamlessly integrates into Visual Studio Code and automatically applies the necessary code transformations on save. This eliminates the extra steps of running ESLint separately and simplifies the development workflow. By using Equilix, you can avoid the hassle of configuring and running ESLint with --fix, setting up scripts in package.json, and ensuring consistent execution across different environments. Equilix provides a more straightforward and streamlined approach to code transformations, making the process quicker and more convenient.

❗️ Note

While Equilix offers a simplified alternative for specific code transformations, it's important to recognize that ESLint remains a robust tool for code linting, offering extensive rule sets, customizability, and integration with various development environments. Depending on your project's complexity and specific requirements, ESLint might be the preferred choice to enforce a wider range of coding standards.

⚙️ Tech Stack

Equilix is built using the following technologies:

• JavaScript and TypeScript: The core functionality and extension API are implemented using JavaScript and TypeScript, providing a robust and efficient codebase.

• Visual Studio Code Extension API: Equilix leverages the powerful Visual Studio Code Extension API to integrate seamlessly into the editor, allowing automatic code transformations on save.

• Regular Expressions: The conversion logic relies on regular expressions to identify and replace var, ==, and != occurrences, ensuring accurate and efficient transformations.

📋 Requirements

• Visual Studio Code version 1.56.0 or above.

🚀 Installation

1. Launch Visual Studio Code.
2. Go to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X).
3. Search for "Equilix" and click Install.
4. Reload Visual Studio Code to activate the extension.

🎯 Usage

1. Open a JavaScript file (.js) in Visual Studio Code.
2. As you save the file, Equilix will automatically convert and == to === and != to !==.
3. If any conversions are made, a success notification popup will be displayed will the line number where that conversion happened

🎯Usage(if above method does not work)

1. Open a JavaScript file (.js) in Visual Studio Code.
2. If On save it does not automarically convert them open command pallete (cntrl+shift+p) and type equilix
3. Press enter and you will see a error stating that wrong command press ok
4. Now again on save , your extension should be enable

⚙️ Configuration

Equilix does not require any additional configuration. It works out of the box with the default settings.

Happy coding! ✨🚀

Example 1: Convert Equality and Inequality

Before:

function compareValues(a, b) {
  return a == b;
}

After:

function compareValues(a, b) {
  return a === b;
}

Example 2: Convert var to const

Before:

function calculateArea(radius) {
  var pi = 3.14159;
  var area = pi * radius * radius;
  return area;
}

After:

function calculateArea(radius) {
  const pi = 3.14159;
  const area = pi * radius * radius;
  return area;
}

Example 3: Convert For Loop to forEach

Before:

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const doubledNumbers = [];

for (let i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
  doubledNumbers.push(numbers[i] * 2);
}

After:

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const doubledNumbers = [];

numbers.forEach((number) => {
  doubledNumbers.push(number * 2);
})

Example 4: Detect Unused Variable

Before:

function calculateSum(a, b) {
  const result = a + b;
  const temp = a * b; // Unused variable
  return result;
}

After:

Detected 1 unused variable: temp.

Let's write cleaner and safer JavaScript together with Equilix! 🎉🚀
