AI-assisted Express API action generator extension for Visual Studio Code.

Quickly create Express.js API methods like GET, POST, and DELETE directly from the VS Code Title Bar with a single click.

✨ Overview

vs-code-ext-express-api-gen-actions is a Visual Studio Code extension developed by KeshavSoft to simplify Express.js endpoint action generation.

Instead of manually writing repetitive API methods, the extension automatically generates route handlers and boilerplate code directly inside your endpoint files.

🎯 Main Purpose

This extension helps developers instantly create:

GET methods
POST methods
DELETE methods
Route boilerplate
Express router structure

directly from the VS Code Title Bar actions menu.

⚡ Features

✅ One-click GET method generation ✅ One-click POST method generation ✅ One-click DELETE method generation ✅ Auto-generate Express route handlers ✅ Works directly inside endpoint files ✅ Faster backend API development ✅ Clean Express.js architecture ✅ Beginner-friendly workflow

🖼️ API Actions

When opening an endpoint file, the following actions appear on the VS Code Title Bar:

get
post
delete

Clicking any action automatically generates the selected API method inside the current file.

🚀 Generated GET Method Example

router.get("/", async (req, res) => {
    res.json({
        success: true,
        message: "GET method generated"
    });
});

🚀 Generated POST Method Example

router.post("/", async (req, res) => {
    res.json({
        success: true,
        message: "POST method generated"
    });
});

🚀 Generated DELETE Method Example

router.delete("/", async (req, res) => {
    res.json({
        success: true,
        message: "DELETE method generated"
    });
});

export { router };

After clicking action buttons, methods are automatically added to the file.
