Repl Scooper is a extension which helps programmers while developing new JS functions or code snippets.
It allows users to evaluate code snippets in an enclosed environment in order to better get a grasp of small parts of the program or debug certain features.
The extension has two unique commands:
function: In order to select a whole function which is around the cursor use thefunctioncommand. The extension will automatically find the deepes enclosing function.command: If you want to experiment with parts of the code or just some code snippets use thecommandto select everything marked.
If you make changes to your code and save it the repl scooper will automatically update itself.
The plugin can be used by accessing the command pallet with shift + cmd + p or shift + ctrl + p and searching for REPL Scooper: function or command and pressing enter while inside a valid function or statement. If there is no valid statement detected, the plugin will alert you with an error message.
To use the extension it is required to install node.js on your system so it can be used to evaluate to code. You must also require and install all necessary node-packages in order for them to be used.
Currently there are no extension settings. We will keep you posted about them in the future.
Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the extension so I can fix them.
