RSpade VS Code Extension

This directory contains the Visual Studio Code extension for the RSpade framework, providing enhanced development experience with automatic code folding, namespace management, and integrated formatting.

Purpose

The RSpade extension enhances VS Code for RSpade framework development by:

• Automatically folding LLMDIRECTIVE blocks to reduce visual clutter
• Providing visual indicators and warnings for auto-generated RSX:USE sections
• Updating PHP namespaces automatically when files are moved or renamed
• Integrating PHP formatting directly into VS Code (replacing RunOnSave)
• Auto-renaming files to match RSX naming conventions (optional, configurable)

Architecture

The extension is built with TypeScript and follows VS Code extension best practices:

Core Components

1. extension.ts - Main entry point that activates providers and registers commands
2. folding_provider.ts - Implements automatic folding for LLMDIRECTIVE blocks
3. decoration_provider.ts - Adds visual indicators to RSX:USE sections
4. file_watcher.ts - Monitors file moves/renames and triggers namespace updates
5. formatting_provider.ts - Integrates with the main formatter for PHP formatting
6. auto_rename_provider.ts - Automatically renames files to match RSX naming conventions
7. config.ts - Centralized configuration management

Key Features

1. Code Folding

   • Automatically identifies and folds LLMDIRECTIVE blocks
   • Uses VS Code's FoldingRangeProvider API
   • Can be toggled via command or settings

2. Protected Region Indicators

   • Highlights RSX:USE sections with yellow background
   • Shows warning icons and hover messages
   • Alerts users when editing auto-generated code

3. Smart File Handling

   • Detects file moves and renames
   • Automatically updates PHP namespaces for RSX files
   • Works with drag-and-drop in VS Code explorer

4. Integrated Formatting

   • Docker-first formatting via /_idehelper/codeformat endpoint
   • Falls back to local PHP execution if Docker unavailable
   • Uses the main formatter at ./bin/rsx-format
   • Graceful degradation - warns but allows save if formatting fails
   • Works even when Laravel is broken (bypasses framework)

5. Auto-Rename Files (Optional - disabled by default)

   • Automatically renames files in ./rsx to match RSX naming conventions on save
   • Supports PHP classes, JavaScript classes, .blade.php files with @rsx_id, and .jqhtml components
   • Only renames if the correct filename doesn't already exist
   • Respects short-name conventions (directory-based prefixes)
   • Files containing @FILENAME-CONVENTION-EXCEPTION are skipped
   • Enable via config/rsx.php: 'development' => ['auto_rename_files' => true]

   Naming Conventions Applied:

   • PHP classes in rsx/: Lowercase, optional short name
   • JS classes in rsx/: Lowercase, snake_case for Jqhtml_Component subclasses
   • .blade.php with @rsx_id: Lowercase, optional short name
   • .jqhtml components: snake_case (lowercase with underscores)

   Short Names: If class is Foo_Bar_Baz_Bom in directory ./rsx/app/foo/bar/, filename can be baz_bom.php instead of foo_bar_baz_bom.php

Development

Setup

npm install
npm run compile

Testing

Press F5 in VS Code to launch a development instance with the extension loaded.

Building

npm install -g vsce
vsce package

Configuration

Users can configure the extension through VS Code settings:

• rspade.enableCodeFolding - Toggle LLMDIRECTIVE folding
• rspade.enableReadOnlyRegions - Toggle RSX:USE visual indicators
• rspade.enableFormatOnMove - Toggle automatic namespace updates

Integration

The extension integrates with the existing RSpade formatting infrastructure:

• Format-on-save handled by RunOnSave extension configured in .vscode/settings.json
• Uses the main formatter at ./bin/rsx-format
• PHP formatting via ./bin/formatters/php-formatter
• JSON formatting via ./bin/formatters/json-formatter
• Maintains compatibility with existing VS Code tasks and settings
