Visual Studio Code is definitely one of my favourite code editors and I use it all the time. Recently I stumbled upon the #region
keyword. Using this you are able to wrap a section of code that will be collapsed together. This makes organising code a lot easier and allows you to focus on the functionality you're writing and ignore everything else.
Example time
I will be showing off how to do this in JavaScript, but it is available in quite a very languages. See the guide above.
function add(a, b) {
return a + b
}
function minus(a, b) {
return a - b
}
function multiply(a, b) {
return a * b
}
function divide(a, b) {
return a / b
}
Without folding, the best you can do, in terms of folding, is the following;
function add(a, b) {...
}
function minus(a, b) {...
}
function multiply(a, b) {...
}
function divide(a, b) {...
}
Not bad but if you add appropriate jsdoc blocks the functions still take up a decent footprint. With regions, you are able to do the following;
// #region Math functions
function add(a, b) {
return a + b
}
function minus(a, b) {
return a - b
}
function multiply(a, b) {
return a * b
}
function divide(a, b) {
return a / b
}
// #endregion
Now you are able to collapse the code at the // #region
definition, collapsing the code down to;
// #region Math functions ...
Stay safe out there ❤️

s unfortunately :sad: and I believe it is thanks to how we can write comments in Dockerfiles, so the same goes for yaml files and bash script fileshave you tried the
maptz.regionfolder
extension ? marketplace.visualstudio.com/items...Thanks for the clear explanation!
Thanks
nice
