Auto Import is a Visual Studio extension that automates the process of importing classes and interfaces into your C# codebase. This can help streamline your development process by eliminating the need for manual importing of types, saving you time and reducing the chance of errors.
- Auto-detects the classes/interfaces used in your code and adds appropriate using statements.
- Refactors and renames identifiers, improving code readability and organization.
- Provides support for generic types.
- Allows integration into the constructor of a class.
This extension can be installed through the Visual Studio Marketplace. Click here to download and install.
Once the extension is installed, it will automatically run in the background. It analyzes your code as you type, detecting classes, interfaces, and binary expressions that require imports. If any are found, the extension will automatically generate the appropriate using statements at the top of your code file.
The main functionality of the extension is defined in AutoImportCodeRefactoringProvider. This class inherits from the CodeRefactoringProvider class in the Microsoft.CodeAnalysis namespace. The primary method, ComputeRefactoringsAsync, performs the analysis and refactoring.
Additionally, the helper methods Refactor, CreateDataModel, and RenameGeneric assist in handling specific aspects of the code refactoring process.
