StatLens:Commands and Settings

The ids of the command, the view and the settings still start with projectStats, the name the extension had before version 4.0.0.

Commands

Command	Id	What it does
Stat Lens: Rescan	projectStats.refresh	Scans the workspace again. If a scan is already running, it waits for that scan instead of starting a second one.

You can run it from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), with the refresh icon in the title bar of the Stat Lens view, or with the Scan now link in the empty view.

If no folder is open, the command only shows the message Stat Lens: Please open a folder first.

Keybindings

Stat Lens adds no keybindings. You can assign one to projectStats.refresh under File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts.

Menus

Place	Entry
Title bar of the Stat Lens view	Refresh icon, runs Stat Lens: Rescan

View

View	Id	Where
Stat Lens	projectStats.view	Explorer side bar

You can drag the view to another side bar or hide it like any other view. See Sidebar View.

Settings

Open the settings with File > Preferences > Settings and search for Stat Lens. Both settings can be set for the user or for a single workspace. A change starts a new scan at once.

Setting	Type	Default	What it does
projectStats.ignoreComments	boolean	false	Leaves out lines that start like a comment when counting lines of code. See Ignoring comment lines.
projectStats.excludeFolders	array of strings	node_modules, bin, obj, .git, dist, out, .vs, .vscode	Folder names that are always skipped, on any level, in addition to the .gitignore in the root folder. The names must match exactly. Paths and wildcards are not supported.

Setting projectStats.excludeFolders replaces the whole list. To add a folder, repeat the defaults:

"projectStats.excludeFolders": [
    "node_modules", "bin", "obj", ".git", "dist", "out", ".vs", ".vscode",
    "coverage"
]

Supported workspaces

Workspace	Supported
Local folder	Yes
Multi-root workspace	Only the first folder is scanned
Untrusted workspace (Restricted Mode)	No, the extension is disabled
Virtual workspace (for example a GitHub repository opened in the browser)	No

Stat Lens adds no languages, file types or custom editors. It only reads files.
