A modern, fully modular productivity extension for React developers.
Version 1.0.0 introduces a clean service-based architecture, a step-by-step generation pipeline, and full error handling.
The Generate React Component command now leverages a modular pipeline with dedicated services for configuration, naming, folder handling, styling, file writing, and template processing.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Dedicated Folder Creation | Generate Component/Component.jsx + optional style file inside a folder named after the component. |
| Smart Naming | Input like user-card automatically becomes UserCard (PascalCase validation included). |
| CSS / SCSS / Tailwind Support | Select your preferred styling method. |
| Tailwind Class Prompt | Enter a base Tailwind class when using Tailwind (default: container). |
| Auto-Formatting | Automatically formats generated files using your VS Code formatter (configurable via rcs.autoFormat). |
| Graceful Cancel Handling | User canceling any prompt halts generation cleanly without errors. |
| Workspace Template Overrides | Override built-in templates by placing files in .react-component-generator/ inside your workspace. |
| Centralized Logging & Error Handling | All logs and errors go through a unified system (logger.ts) for better UX and debugging. |
