Settings

1. genGetSet.scoped (default: enabled) Only show private variables from current class based on cursor position.
2. genGetSet.filter (default: enabled) Only show private variables which do not have a getter/setter method.
3. genGetSet.importTypings (default: enabled) Create import lines based on definition files from /typings/.
4. genGetSet.importNode (default: enabled) Create import lines based on definition files from /node_modules/.
5. genGetSet.classic (default: disabled) use 'getValue' and 'setValue' instead of 'get value' and 'set value'.
6. genGetSet.pathStringDelimiter (default: ') sets which quote use to generate import path.

9. genGetSet.ignoredImportList (check settings) Imports like 'Promise' have many libraries but seldom need an import line.
10. genGetSet.ignoredDictionaryList (check settings) Dictionaries like 'vscode' and 'tsconfig' which do not need an import line.
11. genGetSet.ignoredLibraryPaths (check settings) Paths like 'dist' and 'src' which can be omitted in the import line.
12. genGetSet.ignoredNodeLibraries (check settings) A list of node module libraries like 'chrome' and 'node' which can be ignored as an import line.

Usage

1. Just place your cursor within a TypeScript class definition in the text editor window
2. Open the command palette ctrl+shift+P / cmd+shift+P.
3. Search for 'Import', 'Generate Getter', 'Setter' or 'Constructor'

or

1. Just place your cursor within a TypeScript class definition in the text editor window
2. Press alt+shift+G for a quick selection pop-up
3. Select the preferred function from the pop-up menu

or

1. Click on the little Eye-Icon in your statusbar
2. Select the preferred function from the pop-up menu

The generated method will be placed at the cursors position.

Best Practice

Best practice is naming your variables with a _ for private use. The extension will remove the _ when generating the methods.

This: private _name: string;

Will render in:

public get name(): string {
    return this._name;
}

public set name(value: string) {
    this._name = value;
}

If there is no _ the method will start with a $.

This: private name: string;

Will render in:

public get $name(): string {
    return this.name;
}

public set $name(value: string) {
    this.name = value;
}

Known Problems

Always type your variables. Even when your variable is being initialized, else the extension cannot read the typing. Always do this: private _name: boolean = false;

This is a TypeScript only extension.
