Explorer.novaextension

Welcome to the repository of the Explorer Nova extension. The actual extension and its README can be found only one directory away in Explorer.novaextension.

Development

Development takes place in src folder using TypeScript. The primary goal was to use TypeScript only for better IDE support and even more important to reduce potential error sources drastically but still produce readable clean JavaScript extension code to allow users verify its integrity easily. Therefore no minification or transpiling takes place. Despite of module importing/exporting the code gets written as if it was consumed directly by Nova. Still TypeScript doesn't produce the most clean and simplest CommonJS module code (or I didn't find the best configuration option(s) yet) so the goal couldn't be fully achieved. The watch script will compile the .ts source files on every change resulting in a reload of the extension.

Future development ideas

• Allow undo/redo for actions invoked from Files sidebar (Rename, Delete, ...)
• Add configuration option to hide specific file types
• Add another sidebar section displaying files related to open editors and also which are unsaved
• Allow to pin files
• Move translations into ts-files and generate before publish related strings.json files
• Display git status like modified or added
