ast-grep for VS Code

Structural code search and refactoring extension based on syntax trees

Pluginfreeglobal

ast-grep for VS Code brings structural code search and refactoring into the editor, matching code by its syntax tree rather than plain text or regular expressions. This makes it possible to precisely find and rewrite patterns across a codebase even when formatting varies. It's aimed at developers doing large-scale refactors or code audits who need more precision than text search.
