Dextree

Appearance

Installation ​

Not yet on the Marketplace

Dextree is pre-alpha. v0.1 has not shipped to the VS Code Marketplace yet. The instructions below describe the planned installation flow. Until v0.1 ships, see Building from source to run it locally.

When v0.1 ships ​

bash
# Inside VS Code
Cmd+P → ext install dextree

Then open any project and:

bash
Cmd+Shift+P → Dextree: Index Workspace

The graph view opens automatically. Click any node to follow its calls.

Building from source ​

If you want Dextree before v0.1 ships, clone and build the extension locally.

Prerequisites ​

  • Node.js ≥ 22.22.1
  • pnpm exactly 11.1.2 (enforced by the packageManager field in package.json)
  • VS Code ≥ 1.85
bash
# pnpm
git clone https://github.com/dgtalbug/dextree
cd dextree
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm build

Run the extension in a development host ​

From the repo root:

bash
pnpm --filter dextree run dev

This opens a new VS Code window with Dextree loaded. Open any folder in that window and run Dextree: Index Workspace.

Package a .vsix for manual install ​

bash
pnpm package

The .vsix ends up in packages/extension/. Install it via code --install-extension packages/extension/dextree-*.vsix.

Verifying the install ​

After installing, run Dextree: Index Workspace against any TypeScript / JavaScript project. The graph view should open within ~1 second of the command finishing.

If the command isn't visible, ensure VS Code is on 1.85 or later — older versions don't expose the APIs Dextree needs.
