Spent some time on Saturday playing with the VSCode plugin system. The documentation is great and it's worth looking into if you're tempted to make your own plugins.
A while ago, I created a quick prototype tool to format comments into clean ASCII boxes. I ended up using it a lot more than I thought I would, so I decided to turn it into a plugin for VSCode.
Announcing
Box Comment
It generates a clean comment box using ascii box drawing characters around a selection.
# ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
# │ │
# │ This is a comment of documentation (Doc Block) │
# │ │
# │ @param Request $request │
# │ @return Response │
# │ @throws \Exception │
# │ │
# └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Configuration
The plugin defaults to single line box drawing and 80 characters wide. You can change these in your settings:
"box-comment.chars": {
"tl": "╔",
"tm": "═",
"tr": "╗",
"l" : "║",
"r" : "║",
"bl": "╚",
"bm": "═",
"br": "╝",
"dl": "╠",
"dm": "═",
"dr": "╣"
},
"box-comment.length": 80
Usage
For Mac/PC: shift+cmd+; / shift+alt+; will run Create comment box (via config)
