Display line count for files directly in the VS Code Explorer view.

🚀 Features

Get a quick overview of your codebase size without opening files! Explorer Line Count adds elegant, unobtrusive badges to files in your VS Code Explorer pane showing their exact line count.

Instant Visibility: See file sizes at a glance.
Detailed Status Bar: Exact file sizes and line counts (e.g., 150 lines - 2.5KB) are instantly shown in your bottom right Status Bar when you open a file.
Smart Formatting: Large files use compact formats on the Explorer badge like 1h (100+), 2k (2000+), 9k (9000+) to keep the UI clean.
Highly Configurable: Control exactly which files show counts based on extension or file size.
Performance Optimized: Uses caching, debouncing, and batch invalidation to ensure your editor remains lightning fast.
Clean Tooltips: Hover over a badge to see the exact line count.

⚙️ Configuration

Tweak the extension to your exact needs in VS Code Settings (Ctrl+, or Cmd+,):

Setting	Type	Default	Description
`explorerLineCount.allowedExtensions`	`array`	`[".ts", ".js", ...]`	List of file extensions to process. Include the dot (e.g. `.ts`).
`explorerLineCount.ignoredFolders`	`array`	`["node_modules", ".git", ...]`	Folder names to ignore when counting lines.
`explorerLineCount.maxFileSize`	`number`	`2`	Maximum file size in MB. Files larger than this are skipped for performance.
`explorerLineCount.minLineDisplay`	`number`	`0`	Only show the badge for files with at least this many lines (tooltip still shows for all).

Tip: Search for Explorer Line Count in your settings to quickly find these options.

⚡ Performance

This extension is built with performance in mind:

Asynchronous Reading: File reading and metadata retrieval are completely non-blocking.
Metadata Efficiency: Uses vscode.workspace.fs.stat for lightning-fast file size checks across local and remote environments.
Memory Safety: Does not load file contents into memory for size checks, preventing lag on large files.
Result Caching: Line counts are saved in memory and only updated on save/rename/delete.
Smart Skip: It ignores .git, node_modules, and large binaries by default.
