What it does

Extension for Visual Studio Code - React Component Hierarchy Visualizer
A convenient way to traverse your React application. Explore the docs » Report Bug · Request Feature Sapling is a VS Code extension built with React developers in mind. As your codebase grows, your native file structure becomes less and less intuitive. Wouldn't it be nice to have a file structure that represents the actual relationships between the components and containers in your application? Wouldn't you like a quick reference to your available props, and an indication of routes and conditional rendering? With Sapling, you don't have to guess at the parent component of your current file.

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years.
