Jump ahead and develop with speed!

A lightweight extension that optimizes your development in Laravel projects, especially in Blade and Livewire contexts. It allows you to quickly navigate between related files and autocomplete your code with ease.

Features

• Register components and autocomplete your code: To improve performance, a manual action has been added to register all components and use them for code autocomplete in different parts of your project. This action is hidden outside the context of Blade and PHP documents. It also displays the number of views, components (Blade and Livewire), and PHP classes in view.dirs when views are updated.

  

  Note: File-watching-based updates are not yet implemented.

• Register and autocomplete Blade icons: Specify the paths to search in the extension settings and run the Refresh icons command to start autocompleting your code.

  

  Here's an example for Blade icons from the project and Heroicons.

  

• Jump between Blade views and PHP files: Easily navigate between Blade files and their corresponding PHP classes. Right-click on a Blade or PHP file and select Go to PHP File or Go to Blade File.

  

• Autocomplete components and jump to their files: The extension scans routes found in app/Livewire and provides autocomplete for <livewire: and <x- tags. These routes are loaded using the livewire-jump.view.dirs setting. Note: Volt components are not supported. Navigate from a Blade view to other Livewire or Blade components by holding down Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) and left-clicking on any component tag.

  

• Autocomplete and view links: Autocompletes arguments in methods like view or similar with views. It is highlighted to allow Ctrl+click to navigate to the corresponding Blade file. You can notify me if any methods are missing.

  

• Customize view discovery: The livewire-jump.view.dirs setting allows you to customize discovery by specifying prefixes for views and tags. Each key-value pair must follow this format: "blade-dir|php-dir": "view-prefix|tag-prefix". Keys also support : as a separator, but values do not, as they would conflict with livewire:. Specifying both directories is not mandatory, but if you want to define only php-dir, prefix it with | so it is passed as the second argument.

  

  Note: The current behavior allows indexing Livewire components from their PHP classes (traditional). Blade components are also added with just a view file in subdirectories if they contain the index.blade.php file or the directory name matches one of their files. In the latter case, the component is simplified to the folder. Tags are not added if tag-prefix is empty.

• Translations in VS Code settings: If your editor is not in English, you can benefit from translations included in the extension for the VS Code editor. Currently, there is support for configuration descriptions and command names in Spanish, French, English (default), and Portuguese. You can change the VS Code language with Ctrl+Shift+P and select the Configure Display Language command. If for some reason you want to remove this preference, run the Clear Display Language Preference command.

Requirements

Extension Settings

It follows the latest Laravel and Livewire conventions to provide code autocomplete and link files for quick navigation.

A set of editor settings can be found under Settings > Extensions > Livewire Jump to customize its behavior. However, ensure your project adheres to Laravel and Livewire’s standard conventions for seamless integration.
