Road to `v3.0`

Rewrite the extension to have better DX

Current issues with the code:

• Cache code logic has become too cumbersome to manage. It has become too unpredictable.
• I need to use a mix of OOP's Singleton pattern and JS functions.
• Need to integrate VSCode E2E tests. There's no proper way right now to tell if an old feature breaks with a new release.
  • Setup https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/testing-extension
• [Feat] Remove File watcher for CSS source files #86 Remove the watcher. It's not functional right now and adds unnecessary complexity to the code.

Breaking changes:

• [Bug] it's remembering variables from all times, from other files #80 Purge all CSS duplicates when showing autocomplete.
• [Feat] Suport .gitignore and .eslintignore files to populate ignore list #74 Support .gitignore
• Improve intellisense trigger action
  • Should resolve [Bug] Nested color values does not work for Multi-Root WS #68 , Intellisense doesn't trigger for multi-line functions #54

Features / Fixes

• Support themed variables.
• Lint active tabs in the editor, when opened or modified. #76 Lint CSS Variables for active tabs.
• Resolve [Chore] Support pnpm for extension package manager #85
• Variables do not get cleared from completion list, once they are deleted from source.
• cssvar.enable disables the extension entirely. It is not scoped for each root folder.

Update to self & other following this project

This project is not stale. I've been working on multiple personal projects and also have a full-time job; thus have stalled working on this re-write.
For any other small feature requests, if anybody wants to contribute I am open for PR reviews and any guidance needed.

I'll resume working on v3 development once I am free from all other stuff.
Thanks for your patience and all the support for this project.

This is the definition of "not under active development", which means stale project. Because now we are in 2025, 3 years after this issue :D

U can say that. A lot happened in my life that changed me.

Anyway, I’m working on it (relearning a few things on how I can improve the extension) when I get time, but have been burned out all the time doing the dayjob and working on my other personal projects.

I assure you I might release it someday, but not anytime sooner.

Apologies for the delay. I really appreciate you showing interest and still using the extension till date.
