Pickier VSCode Extension

0.1.24 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript

A Visual Studio Code extension for Pickier, a fast formatter and linter for JavaScript/TypeScript written in Bun. Current version 0.1.24 (early development, pre-1.0). It provides instant formatting and linting by leveraging Bun's speed, targeting developers who want near-instant feedback. Unlike ESLint or Prettier, it aims for sub-second operation for small files. Integrates via VSCode commands and settings. Release cadence is irregular; breaking changes may occur before 1.0.
