Code to TXT - Replit Extension

Note: This README was generated by AI based on the project codebase.

Overview

Code to TXT is a Replit extension that helps developers gather their code files into a single text file, making it easier to work with Large Language Models (LLMs). The extension provides a user-friendly interface to select specific files and folders from your codebase.

Features

• 🔍 Scans your codebase while intelligently skipping common non-code directories (node_modules, .git, etc.)
• ✅ Auto-selects common code file types (.js, .jsx, .ts, .tsx, .py, .json, .html, .css)
• 📁 Folder-based selection/deselection with partial state support
• 📊 Shows line count statistics for files and folders
• 📝 Generates a structured text file with:
  • Table of contents (file tree)
  • Complete file contents
  • Timestamped output files

Technical Details

• Built with React and TypeScript
• Uses Replit Extensions API for file system operations
• Implements efficient file scanning with concurrent reads
• Handles large codebases with pagination and size limits

Usage

1. Click "Scan Codebase" to analyze your project
2. Select/deselect files and folders as needed
3. Click "Generate a TXT File" to create the output
4. Find your generated file named code-to-text-{timestamp}.txt

File Size Limits

• Maximum file size: ~2MB (in base64 form)
• Automatically skips binary files (images, PDFs, etc.)
