About Search node_modules
Search node_modules
Simple plugin for VS Code that allows you to quickly navigate the file inside your project's node_modules directory.
Chances are you have the node_modules folder excluded from the built-in search in VS Code, which means if you want to open and/or edit a file inside node_modules, you can have to find it manually, which can be annoying when your node_modules folder is large.
Features
• Quickly navigate and open files in node_modules by traversing the folder tree.
Settings
• search-node-modules.useLastFolder: Default to folder of last opened file when searching (defaults to false). • search-node-modules.path: Relative path to node_modules folder (defaults to node_modules).
Extension Packs
• Node.js Extension Pack
