Package.json Prefix Folder

This VS Code extension folds dependency entries inside package.json when consecutive packages share the same prefix, making long dependency lists easier to scan.

Examples:

• @types/node, @types/react -> grouped by @types/
• react-dom, react-pdf, react-router-dom -> grouped by react-

Auto-fold matching dependency prefixes

Fold scoped packages such as @types/*

Show hidden count inline for each folded group

Features

• Automatically scans common dependency sections such as dependencies and devDependencies
• Adds custom folding ranges for prefix groups
• Automatically folds matching groups when a package.json file is opened
• Shows an inline badge with the hidden package count for each folded group
• Supports both scoped prefixes like @types/ and unscoped prefixes like react-

Commands

• Package.json Prefix Fold: Fold Current File
• Package.json Prefix Fold: Unfold Current File

Settings

• packageJsonPrefixFolder.enabled
• packageJsonPrefixFolder.autoFoldOnOpen
• packageJsonPrefixFolder.minimumGroupSize
• packageJsonPrefixFolder.unscopedPrefixSegments
• packageJsonPrefixFolder.sections
• packageJsonPrefixFolder.showInlineBadge

Notes

• Scoped packages are grouped by scope, for example @types/.
• Unscoped packages are grouped by the configured number of dash-separated segments.
• VS Code does not currently expose exact manual fold state to extensions, so the inline count is synchronized with folds triggered automatically by the extension or through the extension commands.
