Enhancement: VS Code Extension for Litestar — community project

[smirnoffmg]

Summary

Hi! I built a VS Code extension for Litestar and published it to the marketplace.

It provides route exploration, CodeLens for test client navigation, static diagnostics (missing return types, sync_to_thread, duplicate routes), code snippets, and dependency/guard chain visualization. Built on LSP with a Python backend using pygls for AST-based analysis.

Source code

I'd love to get feedback from the maintainers and community. A few questions:

• Would you be interested in linking this from the Litestar docs or ecosystem page?
• Any plans for a [tool.litestar] section in pyproject.toml that the extension could read for configuration?
• Open to transferring the repo to litestar-org if there's interest in making it an official community project.

Contributions and bug reports are welcome.

Basic Example

Drawbacks and Impact

No drawbacks to the framework itself - this is an independent community project. The only ask is whether the team would like to link it from docs/ecosystem and whether there's interest in closer integration and/or maintain.
