# Quick Jump To File

VS Code extension that extends `Go to Definition` for string path references like `./foo/bar` or `/foo/bar`.

## How It Works

Place the cursor inside a string path and use the standard `Go to Definition` action:

- Relative links such as `./foo/bar` are resolved from the current file.

- Root-relative links such as `/foo/bar` are resolved from the workspace root or configured search paths.

- If the resolved target is a directory, the extension looks for configured index file names inside that directory.

- File matching is based on the filename part before the first dot.

Examples for `./foo/bar`:

- `bar` wins over `bar.ts` and `bar.component.ts`

- `bar.ts` wins over `bar.component.ts`

- `bar.ts` and `bar.js` are returned together so VS Code can show its standard choice UI

- If `bar` is a folder, files like `bar/index.ts` are resolved through the configured index names

## Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

- `quickJumpToFile.searchPaths`: directories used for links that start with `/`. Default is `["/"]`, which means the workspace root.

- `quickJumpToFile.indexFileNames`: base names used when the target path is a directory. Default is `["index"]`.

- `quickJumpToFile.ignoredFilePatterns`: regex patterns applied only to the final filename. Matching files are excluded from results.

Example:

```json

{

  "quickJumpToFile.searchPaths": ["src", "public"],

  "quickJumpToFile.indexFileNames": ["index", "main"],

  "quickJumpToFile.ignoredFilePatterns": ["\\.test\\..*$"]

}

```

## Notes

- Ignore patterns are checked only against the final file name, not parent directories.

- The extension works through the standard definition flow, so `Ctrl+Click`, `F12`, and related VS Code actions use the same resolver.
