Share Selected Code

This VSCode extension helps you share your code to sites like JIRA and Slack.
It formats the selected code according to the site’s style.

Here is an example for JIRA:

1) If this is the code that you have selected in your VSCode window

    selectByWholeLines(selection: vscode.Selection) {
        const newStart = new vscode.Position(selection.start.line, 0);
        const newEnd = (selection.end.character === 0) ?
            selection.end :
            new vscode.Position(selection.end.line + 1, 0);
        return new vscode.Selection(newStart, newEnd);
    }

2) And you invoke “Share Selected Code for JIRA” command, this will what be copied to your clipboard:

*share-selected-code/src/selection.ts*:
{noformat}
17     selectByWholeLines(selection: vscode.Selection) {
18         const newStart = new vscode.Position(selection.start.line, 0);
19         const newEnd = (selection.end.character === 0) ?
20             selection.end :
21             new vscode.Position(selection.end.line + 1, 0);
22
23         return new vscode.Selection(newStart, newEnd);
24     }
{noformat}

3) And here is how it’ll look when posted to JIRA:
